If you are an ardent reader

[unknown]

"If you are an ardent reader, seek not brilliant and erudite texts;
otherwise
the demon of haughtiness will strike your heart. But like a wise bee that
gathers honey from flowers, so also through your reading obtain healing
for
your soul."

St. Ephraim the Syrian.

"The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who
dwell
therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the
waters." Psalm 24:1-2

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.

[Robert]
