Always right?
Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man who maintains that only he has the power
To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul—
A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.
– Sophocles, Antigone
Never wrong?
St. Joseph
“We may well call St Joseph the martyr of the hidden life, for no one ever suffered as he did. But why so much sorrow in his life? Simply because the holier a person is, the more he must suffer for the love and glory of God. Suffering is the flowering of God’s grace in a soul and the triumph of the soul’s love for God.”St. Peter Julian Eymard
St. Joseph
Reality of death
“As all partings foreshadow the great final one, – so, empty rooms, bereft of a familiar presence, mournfully whisper what your room and what mine must one day be.”
― Charles Dickens, Bleak House

Only the fool, fixed in his folly, may think he can turn the wheel on which he turns.” T.S. Eliot
