Rebuild my church

  In imitation of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with his servant, Francis, "we pray 
for the grace to serve God, free from fear, to transform the Church and to conform it to that Body, Christ's own, to which it belongs."

Day 31 Admonition 28

Of Hiding Good Lest It Be Lost.

Blessed is the servant who treasures up in heaven1 the good things which the Lord shows him and who does not wish to manifest them to men through the hope of reward, for the Most High will Himself manifest his works to whomsoever He may please. Blessed is the servant who keeps the secrets of the Lord in his heart.2

 

[1]  See Matt 6:20

 

[2] St Francis would often say to his brethren

“When a servant of God receives any divine inspiration in prayer, he ought to say,

‘This consolation, O Lord, Thou hast sent from heaven to me, a most unworthy sinner, and I commit it to Thy care, for I know that I should be but a thief of Thy treasure.’ And when he returns to prayer, he  ought to bear himself as a little one and a sinner, as if he had received no new grace from God”—St Bonaventure, Leg Maj., X, 4

We adore You, O Lord Jesus Christ, in this church and all the churches of the world, and we bless You, because, by Your holy  Cross You  have redeemed the world
