Earthly life is a pilgrimage, and as such it is full of temptations. But our spiritual growth is worked out in temptation. By experiencing temptations, we know ourselves. By fighting them we have a chance to become winners. By overcoming them, we are crowned victors. Lord, you are our physician, healing the ills of all. -- St. Augustine

Every day will I bless you, And I will praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD and highly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable. Generation after generation praises your works And proclaims your might. They speak of the splendor of your glorious majesty And tell of your wondrous works. They discourse of the power of your terrible deeds And declare your greatness. They publish the fame of your abundant goodness And joyfully sing of your justice.
