“If man applies the virtues planted in his soul to the right purpose, he will be like God. The image we depict must not be that of one who is unlike God; for one who is harsh and irascible (quick to anger) and proud would display the image of a despot. Let us not imprint on ourselves the image of a despot, but let Christ paint his image in us.”

                          – St. Columban 

For Reflection:

What virtues are the opposites of harsh, irascible, and proud? How can I employ these virtues today so as to be more like God? Come up with a concrete strategy and plan.
