To be Catholic is to follow Christ

To be Catholic is to follow Christ by the way we live, the way we think, the things we say, in fact every single facet of our lives must reflect that of Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul urges us by saying, "you must give up your old way of life: you must put aside your old self, which gets corrupted by following illusory desires. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution so that you can put on the new self that has been created in God's way, in the goodness and holiness of the truth." (Eph 4: 22-24)

If you are cold, tea will warm you.
If you are too heated, tea will cool you.
If you are too depressed, tea will cheer you.
If you are too exhausted, tea will calm you!

(William Gladstone)
