Dear Reader,
Every month I plan on posting a little collection of nice quotes and challenges to supplement my writing. Hope you like them <3 (btw I don’t plan on writing as long as my first post…that was just for the first time)
Bible Quote
“Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to Thy Name give glory.”
(DR) Psalm 113:1
Saint Quote
“He taught me that the only glory which matters is the glory which lasts forever and that one does not have to perform shining deeds to win that, but to hide one’s acts of virtue from others, and even from oneself, so that “the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing‘.”
-St. Therese of Lisieux
Can you guess this month’s virtue? Yeah, it’s
Humility
This is one of the most important virtues. Seeing yourself not more, not less, but just as you are in God’s eyes: a beloved daughter or son.
Challenges: Say a Hail Mary for humility every day; practice modesty; practice being cheerfully obedient to your parents immediately and happily for the glory of God
When I Was in Love
by A. E. Houseman
Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.
And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they’ll say that I
Am quite myself again
Hymn: Ave Maris Stella
