Principles and Practices - February 16

Remove The Obstacles

If our minds, instead of being taken up with so many useless matters, were occupied with divine things, how many beauties we should discover in the hidden depth of our soul! How supremely delightful would the spiritual life appear to us. How full of fragrance should we find the virtues, words, and actions of our Good Master and Saviour.

-St. Jane Frances de Chantal.
