'This earth is not our country; it is for us a place of passage, from which we shall soon go to the house of eternity. . . The house, then, dear reader, which you inhabit, is not your house; it is a hospital, from which you will soon, and when you least expect, be dislodged. . .'
'Act as if every day were the last of your life, and each action the last you perform.'
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
In search of my Love
I will go over mountains and strands;
I will gather no flowers,
I will fear no wild beasts;
And pass by the mighty and the frontiers.
St. John of the Cross
