Insult Overruled!

gracelinesheader

"An insult is either sustained or destroyed,Forgive7 not by the disposition of those who insult, but in the disposition of those who bear it."

-St. John Chrysostom

For Reflection:

St. John Chrysostom gives good advice on how to short-circuit the need to forgive. What is my disposition when I am insulted? Does it "sustain" the insult or "destroy" it? What disposition would destroy it?

(See tomorrow's Grace Line for one saint's suggestion.)

Francis Mary Pb 224 pgs Forward Page ix  "The accomplishments of our present times are like a dwarf sitting on the shoulders of the past," as the saying goes. We forget too often that the great strides which man is making in the present would have been impossible were it not for the many accomplishments of humanity in the past. In a sense, the same could be said about A Handbook on Guadalupe, which has a lengthy and checkered history going back to 1962, when a Special Issue on Guadalupe of IMMACULATA magazine was published by Franciscan Friars of Marytown.
