Today’s quote:
It doesn’t suffice to have good affections; we must go further and be motivated to take resolutions to work seriously in the future for the acquisition of the virtue, proposing to ourselves how to put it into practice and doing acts of it. This is the crux of the matter and the benefit to draw from meditation.
Vincent de Paul (Volume: 11 | Page#: 358-9) Repetition of Prayer, 10 August, 1657
Do I think of the concrete steps I need to take?
