Today’s quote:
Saint Bernard [says]: ‘In the ways of God, not to advance and to remain in the
same state is to fall back.’ As you know, sisters, a river has a current, and boats that follow the run of the water, even though they make no effort, still move forward because the river carries them along.
Vincent de Paul (Volume: 10 | Page#: 198) The Obligation of Striving for Perfection, 6 January, 1657
Do I trust myself to God’s current?
