- Those who live "by the flesh" experience
God's law as a burden, and indeed as a denial or at least a restriction of
their own freedom. On the other hand, those who are impelled by love and
"walk by the Spirit", and who desire to serve others, find in
God's Law the fundamental and necessary way in which to practise love as
something freely chosen and freely lived out. (John Pope
Paul II, Veritatis Spendor, 18)
- I fear rather..that we were better and more pure
at the beginning of our conversion than we were many years after we were
converted (TIOC:11)
-
Who wages a stronger battle than he who labors to
overcome himself? And it should be our daily desire to overcome ourselves,
so that we may be made stronger in spirit and go daily from better to better.
(TIOC 3)
-
The greatest fulfilment in life is when you know
the truth of who you are, and live according to the purpose of your existence.
-
"Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity", except loving
God and serving Him alone. (The Imitation of Chris, TIOC 1:3)
