“All holiness and perfection of soul lies in our love for Jesus Christ our God, who is our Redeemer and our supreme good. It is part of the love of God to acquire and to nurture all the virtues which make a man perfect.”

                            ~St. Alphonsus Liguori

For Reflection:

Which virtue do I most need to acquire? How do I know this? Am I willing to practice it to show my love of God?
