“IF you commit a sin and take pleasure in it, the pleasure passes but the sin remains. But if you do something virtuous even though you are tired, the tiredness passes but the virtue remains.”
These words of wisdom come from St. Camillus de Lellis, (1550-1614) an Italian war veteran who gave up a life of dissipation to care for the sickest of the sick
O God, Who, to succour the souls of the dying in their last agony, didst ennoble the holy Camillus with an extraordinary grace of charity, we beseech thee to pour into our hearts, for his sake, the Spirit of thy love, that we may worthily prevail against the enemy in the hour when we depart hence, and pass to receive a crown of glory in heaven.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Amen.
