Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 " If you are a disciple of the master, it is up to you to illumine the earth. You do not have to groan over everything the world lacks, you are there to bring it what it needs..There where reign hatred, malice and discord, you will put love, pardon, and peace; for lying, you will bring truth; for despair, hope; for doubt, faith. There, where is sadness, you will give joy. If you are, in the smallest degree, the servant of God, all these virtues of light you will carry with you...Do not be frightened by a mission so vast! It is not really you who are charged with the fulfillment of it. You are only a torch-bearer. The fire, even if it burns within you, even when it burns you, is never lit by you. It uses you as it uses the oil of the lamp. You hold it, feed it, carry it around, but it is the fire that works, that gives the light to the world, and to yourself at the same time..Do not be the clogged lantern that chokes and smothers the light of the lamp, timid, or ashamed, hidden under a bushel. Flame up and shame before others. Light high the fire of God. " - Phillipe Vernier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
