1. “His mercy led him to teach.”

2. A little from the Liturgy of the Hours today, from the Detailed Rules for Monks by Saint Basil the Great, bishop:

Since we received a command to love God, we possess from the first moment of our existence an innate power and ability to love. The proof of this is not to be sought outside ourselves, but each one can learn this from himself and in himself. It is natural for us to want things that are good and pleasing to the eye, even though at first different things seem beautiful and good to different people. In the same way, we love what is related to us or near to us, though we have not been taught to do so, and we spontaneously feel well disposed to our benefactors.

What, I ask, is more wonderful than the beauty of God? What thought is more pleasing and wonderful than God’s majesty? What desire is as urgent and overpowering as the desire implanted by God in a soul that is completely purified of sin and cries out in its love: I am wounded by love? The radiance of divine beauty is altogether beyond the power of words to describe.

Prayer begs the soul to aspire to the purpose for which we have been created- communion with God.

9. Receive the word of God, not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God.

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning. Blessed John Henry Newman
