Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for November 04 2006
Date: November 3, 2006 06:57 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Charles Borromeo:

"Would you like me to teach you how to grow from virtue to virtue and how,
if you are already recollected at prayer, you can be even more attentive
next time, and so give God more pleasing worship? Listen, and I will tell
you. If a tiny spark of God’s love already burns within you, do not expose
it to the wind, for it may get blown out. Keep the stove tightly shut so
that it will not lose its heat and grow cold. In other words, avoid
distractions as well as you can. Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your
time in useless chatter... Are you in charge of a parish? If so, do not
neglect the parish of your own soul, do not give yourself to others so
completely that you have nothing left for yourself. You have to be mindful
of your people without becoming forgetful of yourself. My brothers, you
must realise that for us churchmen nothing is more necessary than
meditation. We must meditate before, during and after everything we do."
(From a Sermon [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
