      [continued from previous message]               Let me warn anyone bent on following Christ to listen to Saint Paul:        One who claims to abide in Christ ought to walk as he walked. Would       you follow Christ? Then be humble as he was humble; do not scorn his       lowliness if you want to reach his exaltation. Human sin made the road       rough but Christ's resurrection leveled it; by passing over it himself       he transformed the narrowest of tracks into a royal highway.        Two feet are needed to run along this highway; they are humility       and charity. Everyone wants to get to the top--well, the first step to       take is humility. Why take strides that are too big for you--do you       want to fall instead of going up? Begin with the first step, humility,       and you will already be climbing.       -- St. Caesarius of Arles              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
