3 challenges


Three challenges for you today. These are all things I came across in my morning “lectio divina.”

1. “Those who refuse to take up the Cross – who refuse to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the kingdom—will not find peace.” (Nick Wagner)

2. “Take a look at your heart. Everything you see in it that might sadden God, remove.” St. Augustine

3. “Be the door-keeper of your heart and do not let any thought come in without questioning it. Question each thought individually: ‘Are you on our side or the side of our foes?’ And if it is one of ours, it will fill you with tranquility.”  (Evagrius of Pontus)
