Just for Today, February 5

O how wise was that holy soul that said: My mind is strongly settled and grounded upon Christ (St Agatha)!
-Bk. III, ch. xlv.

I no longer feel the need of denying myself the solace of affection, because my heart is firmly established in God. Now that my whole heart is His, it has become enlarged, and I am able to love those dear to me with a love incomparably greater than if it had sprung from a selfish, sterile affection.
-The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme)
