Quiet Reflection





Words of the Fathers


If we were to think each day that we had to die that day we would never sin at all.  If in the morning we imagined that we would never last till evening, and if at evening we thought that we would never see morning, we would never sin       .~~Saint Athanasius

Words worth reflecting upon.

Anger Management


I tried to post this yesterday on Kind Conversation under Words of Wisdom but somehow I managed to send it into cyberspace and there it may remain for ever. I will try again here today.

It struck me when I read this quote how very much anger does impact our lives and I could only imagine how much we would gain by "tempering" it.

Imagine your anger to be a kind of wild beast, because it too has ferocious teeth and claws. And if you don't tame it, it will devastate all things. It not only hurts the body; it even corrupts the health of the soul, devouring, rending, tearing to pieces all its strength, and making it useless for everything. ~Saint John Chrysostom


Truly Words of Wisdom to ponder.

Wishing all a grand weekend of peace and quiet!!!
