Thank you!

Oh no, thank you for reading it!

I wish I had contributors and helpers to compile it.
I basically find a theme, and loosely follow it, gathering quotes and readings to illustrate it, and then (the hard part) check it for typos, errors, mistakes.
Since I could never, and would be too afraid to, commit to writing regular articles for it at this stage of my life, I rest comfortably in letting the saints speak for God. Which allows me to do this at all.
That is in fact why this forum was a big hesitation for me.. The websites were initially and still are all mainly about letting the saints' speak for God, and keeping me out of it. What could be more that than quotes and readings and prayers? Most of the care that had to be taken was that what was used was not out of context, due to personal preference (horror), or some such.
Inevitably I am more present in having to write on these forums posts and suchlike. Disquieting. But the spiritual fruit from bringing people together here has outweighed my reservations, though I must still remind myself -- Let the saints shine through, and when you do instead, at least show the contrast. As long as there is the truth out in contrast to my failings and those of everyone, there is hope.

Hope for progress! And the truth made available in all its beauty.
Someday, if I live so long as to be so blessed, when I am always ruining my food like St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, performing heroic penances like St. Simon Stylites, and loving God anything at all like St. Catherine of Genoa, perhaps I will feel more secure. But I don't think so.
This is the saints' discussion forum.. I want everyone here to look to the examples of the saints.. and work towards it! Work towards it! Become saints! Do not just discuss, which is wonderful.. try to become! Please!
