No longer I, but Christ...

 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live,  

but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith 

in the Son of God,who loved me and gave Himself for me - Gal. 2: 20

 

“If we do not experience

so frequent and violent attacks

of anger, envy and concupiscence as formerly,

let us give thanks

to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament,

who has produced these effects in us.”

"There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge - That is curiosity.
There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others -That is vanity.
There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve - That is love." - St Bernard
