Today’s quote:
Anyone wishing to live in Community must be determined to live like a pilgrim on earth, to become foolish for the sake of Jesus Christ, to change his standards of behavior, to mortify all his passions, to seek God alone, to subject himself to others as the least of all, to be convinced that he has come to serve and not to rule others, to suffer and work and not to live in luxury and idleness.
Vincent de Paul (Volume: 13a | Page#: 161) Reflections on Community Life
Do I see myself as a pilgrim on this earth?
