“To lose always and let everyone else win is a trait of valiant souls, generous spirits, and unselfish hearts; it is their manner to give rather than receive even to the extent of giving themselves.” - John of the Cross
“Perfection is attained through a succession of failures.” - Me
(Today is the feast of St. Peter Martyr, pictured, as well as St. Catherine of Sienna. St. Peter of Verona is my namesake and patron.)

Well happy Feast Day…I “follow” the Dominican calendar so I didn’t realize that Peter Martyr was today. He’s a fabulous saint!

“Perfection is attained through a succession of failures”, but not without Christ.
I find it interesting that in the very same breath with which he predicted the failure of the Apostles he also said “BUT after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee” (Mt 26:31-32).

Of course,there is no perfection except in union with Jesus Christ.

Dearest Terry, Happy feastday! I remember the story about choosing your Confirmation name!

I can just picture you living in the chapel of Maria SS. di Bon Aiuto. Of course, I too want to live there!

Succession of failures…yup, that comment resembles me.
Massively.
And I have a long way to go to reach perfection. *sigh *
