Daily Dose of Discernment: 2/29/08
Note: There was no available quotation from G. K. Chesterton for Feb. 29, so today's "Daily Dose" is strictly from Catholic Tradition P rayer is the spiritual offering that has replaced the ancient sacrifices. What good do I receive from the multiplicity of your sacrifices? asks God. We learn from the gospel: The hour will come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God is spirit, and so he looks for worshipers who are like himself. We are the true worshipers and the true [...]

A ll that we do must be motivated by love and not force. We must love to obey rather than fear to disobey. I leave you the spirit of liberty; not the liberty that excludes obedience, because this would be a liberty of the flesh, but the true spirit of liberty which includes obedience. When you have to omit your practices of piety for a just and charitable reason, I want you to make use of this occasion as a kind of obedience; then love will compensate for the spiritual exercises you have missed. -- Letters [...]

Just as it is an impious effrontery to attribute to our own will the holy works which the Spirit inspires us to perform, so it is braze-faced impiety to want to attribute our lack of cooperation to a failure of grace or of heavenly aid.

He desires nothing more intensely than that we allow that fire to be enkindled in our heart which the Savior brought down to this world. The sacred text also tells us clearly that God does not want [...]

T ranquility of spirit is one of the most pleasing virtues in the spiritual life; every Christian must try his or her hardest to acquire it. How sweet and pleasant is the consideration of the life of our Savior! In it we see marvelously resplendent this perfect tranquility amid the multiplicity of events that succeeded one another. -- Sermons 40; O. IX, p. 445

Night and day let us cry out, "Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Your love." O heavenly love, when will you fill up our souls? -- T.L.G.

The challenges of doing academic research in Africa
Working as an academic in a university in Africa can be a challenging task. Myself, I work for the University of Malawi . It really requires a spirit of service to a nation, otherwise one easily gets frustrated by the impediments that he faces as he/she tries to discharge his daily duties. One of the duties of an academic is to conduct research in their area of interest and specialization. Well, finding equipment for doing research is in itself a big huddle in most African universities. Apart from this, [...]
