Gooood morning, and a great coffee!!
Today we are briefly going through chapter 5 of Purgatorio, and reflecting on this quote from St. Bernard:
“The man who is wise, therefore, will see his life as more like a reservoir than a canal. The canal simultaneously pours out what it receives; the reservoir retains the water till it is filled, then discharges the overflow without loss to itself ... Today there are many in the Church who act like canals, the reservoirs are far too rare ... You too must learn to await this fullness before pouring out your gifts, do not try to be more generous than God.”
― Bernard of Clairvaux, On the Song of Songs

Thanks for listening,
