Just for Today, August 2

He that hath true and perfect charity seeks himself in no one thing; but desires only the glory of God in all things. He attributes nothing of good to any man, but refers it totally to God, from whom all things proceed as from their fountain; in the enjoyment of whom all the saints repose as in their last end.
-Bk. I, ch. xv.

She had been brought a sheaf of corn, and, taking an ear that was so full that the stalk bent under its weight, she looked long at it, and then said to the Prioress:

"This is a figure of my soul, weighed down with graces for myself and for many others. I will always bow down beneath the outpouring of divine grace, knowing that it is the gift of God."
