DISCIPLES THROUGHOUT JUDEA

GIVE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
I will return now to avarice: and I tell you that when the sense would fain acquire a thing or tenaciously keep it, reason must say: "Such a thing will have its end." It is certain that if it will have an end it is madness to love it. Wherefore it behoves one to love … Continue reading GIVE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Verily I say unto you, that even as the plummet hath for its end the centre, so the avaricious hath hell for his end, for it is impossible for the avaricious to possess any good in paradise. Know ye wherefore for I will tell you. As … Continue reading EVILS OF AVARICE
TALK ONLY WHEN NECESSARY
When the governor hath arrested a prisoner whom he examineth while the notary writeth down [the cause], tell me, how doth such a man talk?' The disciples answered: `He talketh with fear and to the point, so as not to give suspicion of himself, and he is careful not to say anything that may displease … Continue reading TALK ONLY WHEN NECESSARY
VAIN TALK WEAKENS YOUR INTELLECT
The fruit of vain talking is this, that it weakeneth the intellect in such wise that it is not ready to receive the truth; even as a horse accustomed to carry but one ounce of cotton-flock can not carry an hundred pounds of stone. `But what is worse is the man who spendeth his time … Continue reading VAIN TALK WEAKENS YOUR INTELLECT
