Just for Today, January 1

Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he was of little or great learning; but let the love of pure truth lead thee to read. If thou wilt re­ceive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith.
- Bk. I, ch. v. [1]
______________

O Lord, who hast said: Unless ye become as little children ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven: grant us, we beseech Thee, so to follow, in humility and simplicity of heart, the footsteps of the Virgin, St Teresa, that we may secure everlasting rewards. Amen.

-Collect of the Mass of Sf Teresa.
