Snowmoon, I guess the following goes hand in hand with your post above.
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues: hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance. Augustine of Hippo0 -
This was part of Father's homily this morning. He tied in St. Frances' advice about not being in a hurry and doing all things calmly.
Then he told about a study of seminarians who were asked to prepare a short talk on why they wanted to be priests. Half were told that they were late and to go over to another building to give their talk. The other half were told they had extra time, but to go ahead and head over to the other building anyway. In between the buildings, the authors of the study had stationed a man, slumped over, moaning, etc. Only 10% of the seminarians who were told that they were late stopped to help the man. 73% of those not in a hurry stopped to help him.
He said that haste isn't from Satan, it is Satan, and then closed with this old Irish proverb:
"God made time. Man made haste."0 -
"Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
