Give me 6 months and I’ll show you what I can change. Note my occupation, education, and state of well being. It’s a promise.
As I see it, we shall never succeed in knowing ourselves unless we seek to know God: let us think of His greatness and then come back to our own baseness; by looking at His purity we shall see our foulness; by meditating upon His humility, we shall see how far we are from being humble.

‘The Mass is long’, you say, and I add: ‘Because your love is short.’ - St. Josemaría Escrivá, The Way
It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him. We must not use the Bible as a sort of encyclopedia out of which texts can be taken for use as weapons.
