Ralph Waldo EmersonIf you are an enemy to your own mind, other people have to become enemies too, sooner or later.

Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one.

You must always be Eucharistic souls in order to be authentic Christians
