Christ the Good Shepherd
Let
our hearts grow warm; let our faith be rekindled; let our desire for the things
of heaven increase; for to love in this way is indeed to be on the way. We
should allow no misfortune to distract us from this happiness and deep joy; for
if you are determined to reach the destination of your spiritual journey the
roughness of the road will not deter you. Nor should the delights of material
prosperity in this life ever entice you astray; only the foolish traveler,
spotting a pleasant field on the way, forgets that he is en route to a greater
destination.
Saint
Gregory the Great
