9. Live on earth as a pilgrim and a stranger, unconcerned with the world's business. Let your heart remain free and lifted up to God, for you have not here a lasting city. Persevere in prayer, sending your aspirations daily up to God, so that at the hour of death your soul may depart from this world and go to its Lord.
The Imitation of Christ (Thomas A Kempis)

ReplyDeleteTo live in this world and not be a part of it...to know that it is temporal..something I strive for. Some days this is an easy achievement; somedays this is a struggle.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, D.G., but that's what we're called to do, to focus on our Lord and let Him lead us. Sounds so easy, but when put into practice, at work, at home, almost impossible. The path becomes narrower and narrower...
