DAILY CONTEMPLATION

October 14, 2025 ~ Paope 4, 1742

“Come unto Me all you that toil and are heavy laden… for My yoke is easy and My burden light.” (Mt 11:28-29)
For toil will never cease, except for the one who loves that which cannot be taken away against his will.
For when those things are loved which we can lose against our will,
we must needs toil for them most miserably;
and to obtain them – amid the straitnesses of earthly cares, while each desires to snatch them for himself,
and to be beforehand with another, or to wrest it from him – we must scheme injustice…
Toil then is the seed of iniquity
St. Augustine
