    Bible Quote:
    =C2 Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead,
    of the seed of David, according to my gospel. 9 Wherein I labour even
    unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound. 10
    Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they
    also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.=C2 (2 Tim. 2:8-10) DRB


    <><><><>
    This is the first and greatest commandment: Thou shalt love the Lord
    thy God with thy whole heart, but the second is like unto it: Thou
    shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.--Matt. 22:38

    9. Some torment themselves in seeking means to discover the art of
    loving God, and do not know--poor creatures--that there is no art or
    means of loving Him but to love Him--that is, to begin to practice
    those things which are pleasing to Him.
    --St. Francis de Sales

    St. Vincent de Paul devoted himself nobly to this holy practice,
    observing God's law with so much exactness, that those who watched him
    closely assented that no one who was merely a man could fail less than
    he. He was constantly elevated above himself, upright in his
    judgments, circumspect in his words, prudent in his conduct, punctual
    in the practices of piety, and so perfectly united to God, so far as
    could be judged from the exterior, that it was plain that the love of
    God was what animated his heart and ruled in all the powers and
    sentiments of his soul, to regulate every motion and act. It might be
    said that his whole life was a sacrifice to God, not only of honors,
    comforts, pleasures and all other earthly blessings, but even of what
    he had received more directly from His most liberal hand, such as
    lights, affections and holy desires. Nor did he ever wish for anything
    except that God should be known and glorified, in all times and
    places, and by all kinds of people. To this end alone he directed all
    that he thought, said, and did.
