CQOD: 11/13/05 -- de Sales on bearing our crosses

Christian Quotation of the Day

November 13, 2005

Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836

Meditation:
    Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
    -- Mark 10:21 (NIV)

---

Quotation:
    Do not desire crosses, unless you have borne well those laid on you; it is an abuse to long after martyrdom while unable to bear an insult patiently.
    ... François de Sales (1567-1622)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, remind me not to shirk today's duty for tomorrow's grand plan.
