Unceasingly

'For my heart is always with Him; day and night it thinks unceasingly 

of its heavenly and divine Friend, to Whom it wants to prove its affection.'

St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

How to be Transformed

Unlearning the World

'The true Christian is ever dying while he lives...

Day by day he unlearns the love of this world and the desire of its praise; he can bear to belong to the nameless family of God, and to seem to the world strange in it and out of place, for so he is.

And when Christ comes at last, blessed indeed will be his lot.  He has joined himself from the first to the conquering side; he has risked the present against the future, preferring the chance of eternity to the certainty of time...

His reward will be but beginning, when that of the children of this world is come to an end.'

Cardinal John Henry Newman
