Lenten Meditation - March 7, 2006

“…it is also his (the Christian’s) duty to labor day by day with continuous efforts at his interior perfection, for, whether he wish it or not, the effect that we produce will be the reflection and expression of what we bear within us. Let us lay up for ourselves a store of lofty thoughts, energy, and strong, intense affection, and then we may be sure that sooner or later, perhaps without our being aware of it, the overflow will reach the hearts of others.”

- Elisabeth Leseur (1866-1914)- From The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur, from a letter to an unbeliever
