Quote of the Day
The following is adapted from The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, translated by Louis Delmage SJ; Joseph Wagner Inc., 1968.
"It is fundamentally dishonest to try to lead God in the direction of your own crooked design.
It is a preposterous fallacy to decide first to obtain a husband or wife, or a source of income, or take up a particular kind of work, and then-afterwards-decide how to serve God in such a situation. Your 'ends' and 'means' are topsy-turvy, and this line of action simply does not lead to God."
