-St. Alphonsus Liguori 
For Reflection:
Which “chisel” is God using in my life right now? How can I specifically cooperate with His “sculpting” that I might be fit for paradise? (Hint: What one virtue can I seek to acquire during this time?)
Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696 – 1787)
“Contradictions, sickness, scruples, spiritual aridity, and all the inner and outward torments are the chisel with which God carves His statues for paradise.”
