Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

Do better

"You have heard that it has been said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

"But I say to you,
Love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you;
That you may be children of your Father in heaven:
for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

"For if you love those who love you,
what reward do you have?
do not even the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brethren only,
what more are you doing than others?
do not even the pagans do that?

"Be therefore perfect,
even as your Father in heaven is perfect."


Matthew 5:43-48
