Today’s quote:
What a severe punishment for those who prefer to wait to do penance in the next world rather than do it here!
Vincent de Paul (Volume: 10 | Page#: 319) Mortification, Correspondence, Meals, and Journeys, 9 December, 1657
How do I define mortification? When was the last time I gave up something good, to do a better thing?
