Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt. -- The Counsels of the Holy Father St. Francis, Admonition 27 Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance. -- Canticle of the Sun May I seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted: To understand, than to be understood; To love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds; It is by forgiving that one is forgiven; It is by dying [to one's self] that one awakens to Eternal Life. Share this page:
