"Man is the work of My Almighty hand. Of Himself, man is nothing...How can you think so much of yourself when you were made from nothing. Why do you think highly of yourself?...How can you find fault with others, you who are so full of faults yourself? Without help, you would easily fall into the same mistakes which you criticize... Unless it is your duty to correct others, think more of your own faults than of other people's faults. Work and fight your own defects, and you will be too busy to be annoyed by your neighbor' defects. What is the best knowledge? To know Me, to look for My holy Will, and to reflect often on how you may eliminate your faults and defects. Act on this knowledge and you will be walking on the road to eternal life. [RECALL OFTEN:] No matter what talents I have, I must remember that they belong to God." (From My Daily Bread )
”Enter the inner chamber of your soul, shut out everything except God and that which can help you in seeking him, and when you have shut the door, seek him.” – St. Anselm of Canterbury
