The Imitation of Christ - Thomas A Kempis (~1427)
Even if we are learned and able to discuss the Trinity, it will not get us anywhere if we are not humble and displease the Holy Trinity. Lofty words neither save us or make us saints. Living virtuous lives is what makes us dear to God. It is better to experience contrition that to be able to define it. CBP, 1993

Theme
Love One Another
We see in the life of Jesus the pattern of living by the rule of love, no matter what may be the result. When people see the love we have for each other, they may be drawn to commit their lives to Jesus. By our love, we are constantly being renewed and remade, until the day when all that is evil is replaced by love and caring. Focus the Word, Susan Sayers, 1985
