The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches.
If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the angels.

Thank you!
'The glory of one who knows how to suffer is so great that Heaven, angels and men, and even God Himself, gaze on him with joy as a most glorious sight. And if the saints in Heaven desired anything, it would be to return to earth so as to bear some crosses.'
St. Louis Marie de Montfort
So powerful. I was about to post a quote, but I think I'll put it off just to allow the profoundness of these words sink in a bit more!

Thank you George!
I need to learn to think about the virtues more and more properly! So as to truly appreciate them for the beautiful works of God they are, and so be better motivated to pursue them in my own life!

One of my favorites. My D-R NT says ....whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely.... and whenever this comes to mind I think of the large and beautiful tabernacle in the center of the altar in my Byzantine church.
ps did you really type this at 2:30 am?

It's a favorite of mine too!
Yes, it's interesting to see the different meanings each part of this passage can be translated to.
The portion 'modest' I've also seen put as 'honest', and those two meanings are very closely tied together, more than people might think who haven't read about that virtue.
I don't recall when I copy/pasted it (easier
) but I think I was up pretty late. My time and the forum time, I don't think are exactly the same.

Celebrate the feast of Christmas every day, even every moment in the interior temple of your spirit, remaining like a baby in the bosom of the heavenly Father, where you will be reborn each moment in the Divine Word, Jesus Christ.

Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?

'The just man is like the sun, constant in his serenity, no matter what betides him. His calmness of soul is founded on his union with the will of God; hence he enjoys unruffled peace. This is the peace promised by the angel of the Nativity: "And on earth, peace to men of good will." Who are these "men of good will" if not those whose wills are united to the infinitely good and perfect will of God? "The good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God."'
