 FEBRUARY 29 The World Is a Passing Attraction |
PRAYER. Help me, O God, to realize that I am here on earth to know, love, and serve You. Do not let me be distracted from this goal. |
|
AS regards this world with all its enjoyments,
let us not trust it. Let us "seek
first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness"
and then all those things of this world "will
be added to us" (Mt 6:33).
They alone are able truly to enjoy this world who begin with the world unseen. They alone are able to use the world who have learned not to abuse it. They alone inherit it who take it as a shadow of the world to come. |
