y brothers and
sisters, seek what is enough for God's work, not what is sufficient for
your greediness. Your greediness is no work of God.January 17
Possess What You Need
y brothers and
sisters, seek what is enough for God's work, not what is sufficient for
your greediness. Your greediness is no work of God.
Your self, your body, your soul, this is all God's work. Inquire what is enough for them, and you shall see how little it is.
-- Commentary on Psalm 147, 12
Prayer. Lord, those are your best servants who wish to shape their life on your answers rather than shape your answers to their wishes.
-- Confessions 10, 26
