Being a Believer:

Being a believer, having faith, implies taking God at his word, accepting as true God’s offer of love and concern for us, living our that acceptance in every aspect of our lives; not just with our minds, important as that is, but also with our hearts and our lives, with our jobs and our friendships, in times of deep reflection and in the humdrum moments that compose most our life.

Believe me, vices which have been cut down sprout forth anew. When driven away, they return. When extinguished, they are again enkindled. When lulled to sleep, they wake up afresh.

- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
