Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for August 25 2006
Date: August 24, 2006 05:28 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. John of the Cross:

"The more a soul loves, the more perfect is it in that which it loves;
therefore this soul that is now perfect is wholly love, if it may thus be
expressed, and all its actions are love and it employs all its faculties
and possessions in loving, giving all that it has, like the wise merchant,
for this treasure of love which it has found hidden in God [...]. For,
even as the bee extracts from all plants the honey that is in them, and
has no use for them for aught else save for that purpose, even so the soul
with great facility extracts the sweetness of love that is in all the
things that pass through it; it loves God in each of them, whether
pleasant or unpleasant; and being, as it is, informed and protected by
love, it has neither feeling nor taste nor knowledge of such things, for,
as we have said, the soul knows naught but love, and its pleasure in all
things and occupations is ever, as we have said, the delight of the love
of God." ("Spiritual Canticle", Stanza 27, 8).

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
