  • Good sermon

    "Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." [Matt. 6:34]

    "In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin." [Ecclus. 7:40]

    "A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon." [Ecclus. 27:12]

  • I really like the story of St. John Vianney signing his name on a petition outlining his faults. But especially about 21:00 onward wherein the good Bishop speaks of the immensity of God and the insignificance of men. Our sins, in truth, make us lower than the worms because the worm never sins. How great can the proud man be when he rebels against nature and the beasts do not?
