Grace does not erase our humanity or replace our personality with something foreign
Holiness simply consists in the exercise of virtues day after day, directly within the specific environment and circumstances where we live.
"Purity of intention is the practice of the presence of God, bringing true freedom"
"The practice of virtue reveals the path to God, growing through daily acts that shape character and fate."
"You are the same man, both on the job with your colleagues and at home with your family and friends. "
"Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could call everyone in our workaday world friends!"
If with the help of grace we reject the ‘tongue-tied’ devil, we will find that one of the immediate fruits of sincerity is joy and peace in our souls.
"Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them."
How pleasant it is when a friend comes to us in the midst of some difficulty and says: You can count on me!
