‘Do Not Love the World’

“DO not love the world, do not let yourself be ensnared by its deceitful caresses; it flatters its followers, but only to lead them astray. It offers them honey in a golden cup, but this honey is poisoned. The love of Jesus, on the contrary, begins with bitterness and ends in sweetness. Christian, you were created for heaven, do not forget your glorious destiny. What are you doing in this world, my brother, you who are greater than the world? (Saint Jerome)”

Calendar of Saints by John Stephen Grosez, SJ; 1956
