He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

—Micah 6:8 (NIV)

“Let our houses be small and poor in every way. Let us be like our King, who had no house except the porch in Bethlehem where He was born and the cross on which He died. These were houses where little comfort could be found. Those who build large houses no doubt have good reasons for doing so; they are moved by various holy intentions. But any corner is sufficient…. God preserve us from building a large ornate convent with a lot of buildings. Always remember that these things will fall down on the Day of Judgment, and who knows how soon that will be?” —St. Teresa of Avila

Help me focus on what matters, and to put aside what doesn’t.
