 MARCH 9 Using the World Prudently |
PRAYER. Never allow, O Lord, the things of the world so to consume me that I lose sight of my eternal destiny. |
|
CONCERNING the things which the
world admires, we may draw the following rule. Use them with gratitude for
what is really good in them and with a
desire to promote God's glory by means of
them. But do not go out of the way to seek them.
They will not make you happier and they may
make you less religious.
For us, who are all the adopted children of God our Savior, what addition is wanting to complete our happiness? |
