February 28 The Only LoveIf we collected all the love that the entire world could ever give to us that still would be only a speck compared to God's endless love.Oh, botomless, infinite Love of God that we move in every single minute of our lives, although we may often not realise it, we have our beginning in you and in you there is our destination. You are the only hope for us in this land of exile. How I miss You the Only Love!!!! February 25 no good without HimI can do no good at all without Him and I can do all the good with His help. This good goes far beyond me and my weak natures often disbelieves it and fears it . But still, by faith ,I know it is actually the Lord who takes the action. I am just an empty vessel -left on its own it is good for nothing. However, He can do all the good He wishes to do through me if only I open up for Him. The empty useless vessel becomes filled up with the Living Water. Jesus power is enormous.
February 15 Thomas a Kempis"Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all. Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
![]() February 12 Thomas Merton's wordsA life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
It is in the ordinary duties and labors of life that the Christian can and should develop his spiritual union with God. The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. We do not exist for ourselves. We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen. There must be a time of day when the man who makes plans forgets his plans, and acts as if he had no plans at all. February 08 prayer of the saints
