“The perfection of a Christian consists in knowing how to mortify himself for the love of Christ…. Where there is no great mortification there is no great sanctity.”

                                                                                    --St. Philip Neri

 For Reflection:

How is God asking me to mortify myself that I might be filled more with the things of God than the things of the world? How does this show my love of Christ and lead to greater sanctity?
