Giving from the Heart
“O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
-Prayer of St Francis

The Story of King Sisyphus
He who digs a pit shall fall into it;
and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
