For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
-Matthew 6:19-21
Do you find yourself to be lukewarm?
August 26
“Pay the greatest attention to this: that your heart be ever glowing with love. Boiling water does not attract flies, lukewarm water does. In the same way the devil with all his impure thoughts shuns and keeps his distance from the soul aglow with love for God…”
-St. Camilla Batista Varano
