On Worry

Precious Treasures

"Do not be dismayed daughters, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes." --St. Teresa of Avila

A Spiritual Civilization

"The Church represents a complete spiritual civilization, a conserver of values, were it not for her, every new spiritual genius who arose would have to begin at the beginning, at the Stone Age of the soul. Instead of that, such geniuses find themselves placed within a social order enriched by all the contributions of their great predecessors. The bridges are built; the roads are made and named; their own experiences and discoveries are made more valid, less terrifying, more conprehensible to them, because others have been this way before." --Evelyn Underhill

Sacramental Expression

"...every Christian must work for a social order in which the outward would become ever more and more the true sacramental expression of the inward." -- Evelyn Underhill

In Thee

"If I am not in Thee, then I am not at all." -- St. Augustine

Home Life
