Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for October 04 2006 Date: October 3, 2006 07:20 pm Today's excerpt is from St. John of Avila: "If you have the grace of God and want to please Him and do excellent things, do not glory in yourself, but rather in Him who made it possible-God. And if you boast of having used your free will well, or freely consented to God's inspirations, do not boast even on that account; boast rather of God who made you consent, inspiring you and gently influencing you and who in fact gave you that free will whereby you were able to give your free consent. And if you are inclined to boast about the fact that you could have resisted God's inspiration and good influence and yet did not resist it, you should not boast about that either, for that is a matter not of doing something but of not doing something; and even that you owe to God, because He who helped you to consent in doing good also helped you not to reject that help. Any good use you make of your free will, in things to do with your salvation, is a gift from God [...]. So, always boast only in God, from whom all the good you have comes; and remember that without Him the only harvest you reap is nothing, and vanity and evil." ("Audi, Filia", chap. 66). God Bless.
