Saturday before first Sunday of Lent

Station:  St. Augustine.  St. Monica is buried there.

Today's quote, from Gerald Vann's The Sorrow of Christ:

Holiness is not a question of what we feel:  it is a question of what we will. Thy will be done.  We say it so often:  if we could say it without any reservations, wholeheartedly, then we should be saints.  A saint can fear his destiny and want to escape it; he can pray to be released from it; he can be heartbroken because of it; but because he is a saint he puts all his fears and his prayers and his sorrows into God’s hands:  not my will but thine be done.
