Just for Today, April 27

Whilst thou hast time, heap up to thyself riches that will never die, think of nothing but thy salvation; care for nothing but the things of God.

-Bk. I, ch. xxiii.

I seem to hear you (her sister Marie) saying: "See what trouble men take to become wealthy; we can amass riches for Heaven much more easily, as though collecting diamonds with a rake! We need only perform all our actions for the love of God."

I would go away feeling so happy, and fired with the ambition to heap up such treasures.

-Letters.
