Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Morals and Affection Post by: Shin on September 21, 2010, 08:00:33 PM The words of Our Lord and the Saints strike me like lightning. Terrifying. I can feel it! Ah, but perfection is so beautiful and good! It truly is the correct path and the one that is easier on the mind to contemplate in reality! :D Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Morals and Affection Post by: ChristianCatholic on September 21, 2010, 08:05:46 PM Yes! I know! When I look at such good mirrors like Saint Alphonsus or Saint Pius V or Saint Vincent Ferrer I truly wish that I could be just like them (in their zeal and piety, not their offices and honours) but the flesh is weak.....

Like St Paul on the road to Damascus, Like the deciples on the road to Amos, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He spoke to us?" Set us on fire O Lord with Your Holy Word. :+: :angelbell: |
