Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
“
| — | St. Augustine (via eternallyadoring) |
Pope descends popemobile while on his way to inaugural Mass, to bless a disabled man. Love him. He gives us a glimpse into Christ’s love. Humility and kindness that we are all called to exude.
Omg! Love the guy !!
The pupil dilates in the night, and at last finds day in it, even as the soul dilates in misfortune, and at last finds God in it.
—Victor Hugo, Les Misérables Vol. 2 pg. 868 [Wordsworth Classics]
The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.
