Reflection Starter from St.Alphonsus Liguori

"Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction." - Saint Alphonsus Liguori, whose memory was celebrated by the Church on Saturday (1 August)
