Daily Virtue Quote – St. Francis de Sales

St. Francis de Sales

“Do not let that mind which is the likeness of God cleave to mere earthly goods; let it always be raised above them, not sunk in them.”

I love this one. It fits with the point I make in my talk that the Likeness/image we inherit from the creator is the human Mind, which can be used to have a relationship with Him. Peter

  Thanks. It is a great quote and reminder that we are called to conform our mind to the mind of God. Think of how wonderful it will be when we see with God’s eyes, hear with His ears, love with His heart, and experience all His joy. Instead of pursuing this, we often pursue base pleasures that can’t compare or fulfill.
