The Perfection of Self-Abnegation

  • Summary

  • Today, St. John Eudes teaches us why we should, in a way, separate ourselves from God, that is to say from the temporal satisfactions that our pious actions give us. For if we act only for those warm feelings which we receive when we perform some pious action can we truly serve our Lord in times of despondency and despair?

    Yours in Jesus and Mary.

    From the book The Reign of Jesus by St. John Eudes (R. & T. Washbourne, 1911, pages 22-25).
