“Live calmly and do not worry excessively, because in order to work more freely in us, the Holy Spirit needs tranquility and calm.” — St. Pio
Last Wednesday we took the seminarians to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. Seeing the Monets, van Goghs and Cézannes were so uplifting. Yet, each of us is infinitely more valuable than any of those paintings for we are the work of the Divine Artist.
Today praise God for you are wonderfully made! (Psalm 139)
