Today’s Reflection
[Do not] set your heart on something of less value than yourself. . . . For people become like what they love. If I love sin, which is nothingness, I too become a nothing. I cannot fall any lower than that.
—Catherine of Siena, edited by Keith Beasley-Topliffe, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of Catherine of Siena (Upper Room Books, 2017)
