Grace upon grace...

 “He who goes about to reform the world 

must begin with himself,

or he loses his labor.” - St Ignatius of Loyola

If we confess our sins, He who is upright can be depended upon to forgive sins, 

and to cleanse us from every wrong. - I John 1:9

"Of the gifts of grace which

the soul receives in the Eucharist,

one must be counted among the highest;

the Eucharist does not allow the soul

to remain long in sin

or to persist in it obstinately."

St. Ignatius of Loyola
