Thread of RAD St Charbel quotes. You’re welcome. // Begin nothing on earth unless it has its end in heaven; do not walk on a path that does not lead to heaven. The ignorant man clings to the dust until he becomes dust; the wise and prudent man clings to heaven until he reaches heaven. You will belong to the place to which you cling. Everything you think you possess in this world, in reality, it owns you. Whatever you think is under your dominion in this world, in reality, it is dominating you. All the things in this world which you seek to control make you a partner of the evil one. You exist in this world to give and serve, not to possess and command. Always distinguish between your desires and your needs. Man longs for many things he does not need, and needs many things he does not desire. Your wealth is measured by the lack of your needs, not by the plenitude of your possessions. On the Lord’s way, if you stand back a step, the Devil makes you go back ten. However, if you advance one step, the Lord helps you advance a hundred. You cannot go toward holiness without passing through humanity. Things that happen in you are much more important than those that happen with you. The more the holiness grows in man, the more he ceases to see it. He who spends his entire life tolling the bell of the Church is not necessarily the one who enters heaven and saves his soul. It is better that he listens to the bell of his conscience when it announces a sin. Many are those who chime the bell of the church so as not to hear that of their own conscience. The full thimble and the full pot are alike. Whether you are a pot or a thimble, the most important thing is that you are full. Try always to be full, whatever your size may be. Do not be distracted with outside things. The things around you, before you and behind you are less valuable than the things inside you. You cannot lift people higher than yourself, but if Christ is in you, you can go up and draw them to you. When you climb high, pull your brothers towards you. Christ raised you when He was lifted up, so raise your brothers, as you are raised through the power of Christ. As you are drawn towards Christ, you will draw people around you. Do not sell your souls in the markets of this world. Your souls are very valuable. Whatever price the world may pay you, it is too low a price compared to your souls’ true value…The true price is paid only by the blood of Christ, fully paid on the cross. Put in your head the wisdom of nature, in your heart its beauty and in your spirit the power of its constant renewal. You love your idea about the person, not the person himself. And you hate your idea about the person, not the person himself. Beware, do not condemn. Do not put in your mind preconceived ideas and judgments about anyone. Do not speak with a sleeper; he does not hear you. Wake him up and then speak to him. Whenever you see a wrong, correct it in silence, rather than blaming loudly. Ponder in your mind the word you will say like the stone-thrower rotates the stone in the sling. The stone thrower does not cast his stone unless he is sure of his aim. The word in your mouth is like the stone in the sling, once released you will not be able to take it back. If your word will not reach its target, do not throw it because it will hurt.
