Titus 3:14
Learn to be outstanding in good works and to face urgent needs, instead of remaining idle and useless.
Learn to be outstanding in good works and to face urgent needs, instead of remaining idle and useless.
---- Mine, bear in mind that nothing is so worthless as a pool of water that is stagnant, closed in on itself, unable to flow out and is without any source to refresh it, replenish it, nor can it be drained. Water such as this becomes foul smelling and a place where disease and sickness breed. So it is with a Christian who having received the Sacraments and all the gifts and graces that are channeled into the soul by the Holy Spirit but lie dormant, unused, forgotten, ignored because the recipient has not the slightest desire nor makes the slightest effort to look beyond the satisfaction of its own physical needs. Such a person is of no use either to themselves or to others. It would be better if they had never been born for their souls are dead long before their bodies. They only carry death and decay Look to yourself lest you are numbered among these.
