“Some people understand the charity of our Lord and are saved by it; others, relying on this mercy and kindness, continue in their sins, thinking that it may be theirs whenever they wish. But this is not so, for then they are too late and are taken in their sins before they expect it, and so damn themselves.” PeopleThinkingMayWishSinLordKindnessTakenLateMercyCharitySavedDamnToo LateOur Lord Book:The Ladder of Perfection Source: The Ladder of Perfection
“Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.” PeopleMenWayShowsRealitySpiritualReligionWatchesVirtueHumilityCreaturesSpeechBehaviorDressesFaultsCharityCarefulHolinessNeglectCriticizeBe CarefulDeceivingInwardWretchedVigilanceDoings Author:Walter Hilton
