• Know thyself! This is the source of all wisdom, said the great thinkers of the past, and the sentence was written in golden letters on the temple of the gods. To know himself, Linnæus declared to be the essential indisputable distinction of man above all other creatures. I know, indeed, in study nothing more worthy of free and thoughtful man than the study of himself. For if we look for the purpose of our existence, we cannot possibly find it outside ourselves. We are here for our own sake.

• This worship, given therefore to the Trinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, above all accompanies and permeates the celebration of the Eucharistic liturgy. But it must fill our churches also outside the timetable of Masses. Indeed, since the Eucharistic mystery was instituted out of love, and makes Christ sacramentally present, it is worthy of thanksgiving and worship. And this worship must be prominent in all our encounters with the Blessed Sacrament, both when we visit our churches and when the sacred species are taken to the sick and administered to them

• The question "Is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is
  one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all
  that you want and all that you deserve. When you love yourself you feel
  worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. Self-love gives you
  peace of mind and balance. Self-love gives you self-respect and the ability
  to respect others. It gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what
  you want. Self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.
