“Inferno was for learning about the nature of our sins. Purgatorio is for learning how to overcome our tendencies to fall victim to them. Understanding our dilemma is important, but it's not enough. What we do with that understanding makes the difference between life and death. Humility is the foundation of all spiritual progress. Humility builds resilience. Stop thinking of yourself as the center of your world you will find it becomes easier to endure life's setbacks. Plus, you will in time become more grateful, more merciful, and more loving.” SinHumilityMercyInfernoDanteDante AlighieriPurgatorio Book:How Dante Can Save Your Life: The Life-Changing Wisdom of History's Greatest Poem Source: How Dante Can Save Your Life: The Life-Changing Wisdom of History's Greatest Poem
“What happened to that man I was seven autumns ago? What happened to that country? Time heals, yes - and thank God the pain and terror of that time has abated, at least for most of us. In that sense time is a mercy. But time also obscures the life-giving truths we perceive in the light of the shadow of death. In that way, time is a curse.” MenWayGivingCountryLightPainHappenedShadowMercySevenTerrorHealPerceiveCurseAutumnThank GodTime HealsShadow Of Death Author:Rod Dreher
