Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Forwards! Post by: martin on May 15, 2011, 07:57:42 PM 'In the spiritual life, he who does not advance goes backwards.' St. Padre Pio Hmmm.. That blows the myth of the middle ground which has become as a kind of new religion in our time. Reminds me of Our Lords words, " He who is not for me is against me" - " He who does not sow scatters." - "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." - "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." There are many more such sayings of Our Lord and of the saints that can inspire us not to be lukewarm. They are like an antidote to presumption. :o Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Forwards!

Forwards or backwards.. forwards or backwards.. no middle ground! More true than we realize. ;D |
