Allow yourself to be taught. - Maxim of St. John of the Cross



Make me entirely teachable...

O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my life in listening to You, to become wholly teachable that I may learn all from You. Then, through all nights, all voids, all helplessness, I want to gaze on You always and remain in Your great light. O my beloved Star, so fascinate me that I may not withdraw from Your radiance. - Prayer of Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity

Art: Penitent - St. Jerome.

  3. Speaking of asinine...looks like you picked up a troll, Terry. Lucky you.

    O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
