“Books are the food of the soul. Good and wholesome food given to a hungry body will nourish it, but if the food is poisonous, it will be injurious to the system. The same happens with reading. If people read good and instructive books at regular and proper times, it will strengthen and nourish them greatly.” ReadingCatholicCatholicismCatholic SpiritualitySpiritual NourishmentAnthony Mary Claret Book:The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret Source: The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret
“Love is the most necessary of all virtues. Love in the person who preaches the word of God is like fire in a musket. If a person were to throw a bullet with his hands, he would hardly make a dent in anything; but if the person takes the same bullet and ignites some gunpowder behind it, it can kill. It is much the same with the word of God. If it is spoken by someone who is filled with the fire of charity- the fire of love of God and neighbor- it will work wonders.” IfsLovePersonsHandsChristianLove IsBehindsWonderVirtueFireFilledCharitySaintNeighborGod LoveCatholicismWord Of GodBulletsIgniteCatholic SaintGunpowderClaretFire Of Love Author:Anthony Mary Claret
