“The perfection of a Christian consists in mortifying himself for the love of Christ. Where there is no mortification, there is no great sanctity.”    

            – St.Philip Neri 

For Reflection:

As I begin this season of Lent, 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?
