Worldly Possessions

April 23

Feast of St. George, Martyr (? – 303?)

 

 “Saint George was a man who abandoned one army for another: he gave up the rank of tribune to enlist as a soldier for Christ … Clearly what he did serves to teach us a valuable lesson: if we are afraid to strip ourselves of worldly possessions, then we are unfit.”

 

                                               --St. Peter Damian on St. George

 

For Reflection:

To what am I attached more than to Christ? Am I willing to be “stripped” so as to be made fit?
