Day 081l: Yet another Prophet of the Most High … (July 04, 2019)
I then entered the town of Villatuerta and once more found both respite & solace in the open church I found there …
“There is no hope for the man who hopes to obtain a virtue in the abstract, just as there can be no salvation for the man who prays for the same for himself. Every human Soul knows an inherent desire to do good things and avoid perpetrating evil ones. And yet that same drive remains impotent as long as we choose no direct experience of what it feels like to truly Be Good & Kind & True … In truth, laziness and cowardice are two of the greatest enemies of the spiritual life, and they are most dangerous of all when they are masked as either piousness or discretion.” ~ via Thomas Merton
“And you will be called Prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare His way; to rekindle a remembrance in the unconditional forgiveness of all sins … A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another. In truth, just as I have loved you, so must you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” ~ Jesus Christ (Luke 1:76-77 & John 13:34-35)
