Word of the Week
“The absolutely certain help you can give to someone else is to work on yourself — that is, by loving more, becoming more humble, by trusting more. You do not usually have to do anythjing else, and that will save you a lot of useless trouble. Yes, God will inspire you to particular things, but you do not worry about the results or the success or lack of it. It is love that is doing the work, and as it becomes purified, it becomes the immaculate love.”
