The Desire Of A Saint

The roads once trodden by the saints of old are now bushy and overgrown with weeds and thorns because we no longer desire to walk there.

I have cause to believe that just as men trust in their righteous deeds to seek favour and Grace from God, men seem to trust in the prayers they make more than the God who answers.

Men seem to have a confidence in the knowledge acquired, rather than in the one they claim to know.

A desire to be applauded by men and to be in the spotlight has clouded the virtues of a quiet and sober spirit of humility.
