The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

The Catechism of the Summa - SECOND SECTION - A DETAILED SURVEY OF MAN'S RETURN TO GOD - VIII. OF CHARITY AND ITS NATURE; OF ITS PRINCIPAL ACT AND THE FORMULA OF THIS ACT (D)
(D)
How may one formulate accurately the act of love which constitutes the principal act of the virtue of charity?
In this wise: "My God, I love Thee with all my heart
and above all things; I desire no other happiness but
Thyself, wishing this same happiness before all and above
all to Thyself; further, I desire this happiness for all those
who already possess Thee or who, by Thy bounty, are
called to possess Thee one day."
