ironmonk Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 They argue that they act gently and with understanding, in the name of charity, towards those who throw their weight around. I pray to God that this gentleness and understanding of theirs may not be a camouflage for human respect and for seeking their own comfort, while they allow evil to be committed. For if that were so, this gentleness and understanding would merely be complicity in the offence against God.

I went to a Mass commemorating St. Jose Maria today in my archdiocese celebrated by the archbishop [/quote] I went to one on wednesday with bishop finn of kc, mo! it was amazing!!! I advise you not to look for praise, even when you deserve it. It is better to pass unnoticed, and to let the most beautiful and noble aspects of our actions, of our lives, remain hidden. What a great thing it is to become little! Deo omnis gloria! You want to be a martyr. I will place a martyrdom within your reach: to be an apostle and not to call yourself an apostle, to be a missionary- with a mission- and not to call yourself a missionary, to be a man of God and to seem a man of the world: to pass unnoticed! At the time of temptation think of the Love that awaits you in heaven: foster the virtue of hope this is not a lack of generosity When you decide firmly to lead a clean life chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph. These are my favs they are in my aim profile. i LOVE josemaria escriva. i'm working my way little by little through furrow right now...i would LOVE being opus dei someday....*sigh*....its part of my dream life....

curtins Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Comprimising is a sure sign of not possessing the truth. When a man yields in matters of ideals, of honor, or of faith, that man is without ideals, without honor, and without faith. -The way, 394. and so many more......
