The One Reason You Are Not Now A Saint

Here is one of the most wonderful and terrifying sentences I have ever read, from William Law’s Serious Call: “If you will look into your own heart in utter honesty, you must admit that there is one and only one reason why you are not even now a saint. You do not wholly want to be.”

(From How To Win The Culture Wars: A Christian Plan by Dr. Peter Kreeft)

Don't Starve To Death

Don't Stay As Your Are!

…The Lord accepts us just as we are…After the Lord accepts us as we are, He refuses to accept our staying as we are. He calls us to repentance and growth in holiness…The Lord invites everyone to His wedding banquet. All are to come as they are, but not stay as they are. We must put on the wedding garment of righteousness and holiness, or we will be bound and thrown ‘out into the night to wail and grind our teeth’ (Matthew 22:13). Come as you are to no longer be as you are! One Bread, One Body – January 15, 2000

How Much Do You Desire It?

It costs to be a saint. But woe to that man or woman who won't pay the price! Let us never again forget, that only saints get into heaven! If we really intend to get to heaven, it is high time for us to resolve to be a saint. (Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O. from God, A Woman and the Way )
