The Lord God grants His grace in two ways; by inspiration and by enlightenment.
If we ask God for grace He will give it to us; but let us be willing to accept it.
And in order to accept it, self denial is needed.
Love does not consist in words or feelings, but in deeds.
It is an act of the will;
It is gift;
that is to say a giving.
The reason, the will, the heart - these three faculties must be exercised during prayer.

- An poignant small message tucked on the table-top of a friend that I known for decades. A friend known for his temperamental self, yet has hidden nobility of spirit. Always, life is full of surprises.
Familiarity does not breed contempt. It breeds ignorance to people we thought we already knew. In this case, a wonderful ignorance.
