Saint Luke Slidell

Come and Be Born in Me | 14 | Humility

How humble is your manger? Does your soul think not of itself but only of God?

Come and Be Born in Me | 13 | Chastity

Is your manger, is your soul one that knows the supreme gift of having the King of the Universe abiding within... and thereby refuses to let anyone and anything else take His place?

Come and Be Born in Me | 12 | Self-Control

Can't seem to get your crazy side under control? Maybe it's a sign that we need some growth in virtue or some aid in spiritual gifts! But for now, we simply discern: Do I have self-control or not?

Come and Be Born in Me | 11 | Modesty

Beauty and simplicity are intertwined. Perhaps it is why the topic of modesty can be so poetic. Are you a manger of modesty, striving for simplicity and moderation?

Come and Be Born in Me | 10 | Faithfulness

Are you a manger that is firmly planted in the stable? Or are you willing to be moved around according to your own emotions?

Come and Be Born in Me | 9 | Gentleness

Is your manger strong enough to protect the King of the Universe, yet gentle enough to comfort Him?

Come and Be Born in Me | 8 | Generosity

Does the manger of your soul never tire of giving of itself? Are you are generous soul?

Come and Be Born in Me | 7 | Goodness

Is your manger what it was intended to be? Is your soul 'good'?

Come and Be Born in Me | 6 | Kindness

Is the manger of your soul a place where the Lord can come and go, with no payment in return? Or is He more likely to get splintered by your lack of kindness?

Come and Be Born in Me | 5 | Patience

Is your soul a manger that is tired of waiting on the Lord of the Universe? Or is your soul one of enduring patience?
