St. Philip Neri said.....

In this forum you can write about your relationship with the Lord, your spiritual life, devotions you may take part in, works of Mercy you have done, what apostolates you are part of, ask for prayer, talk about the heavenly family (The Saints, Holy Mother, The Lord), talk about the triumphs in your life, and the misfortunes in your life.

(Funny how I seem to ask the previous quote (question) of others and of the world in general, but ask it of myself so less often!)
Domine Non Sum Dignus!

Holiness is not for wimps and the cross is not negotiable, sweetheart, it's a requirement.

IMHO, it means people who wear the mask of deception, making people think they are something they aren't. If it was literal then there would have to be death masks removed from saints and popes. They are really dead and not pretending they aren't. :wink:

"Spiritual persons ought to be equally ready to experience sweetness and consolation in the things of God, or to suffer and keep their ground in drynesses of spirit and devotion, and for as long as God pleases, without their making any complaint about it."
