When, having renounced sin, we die to ourselves, as the grain of wheat dies in the earth before producing fruitful ears (Jn. XII, 25), when we no longer act save under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and in conformity with the precepts and maxims of the Gospel of Jesus, then it is Christ’s divine life that blossoms forth in our souls, it is Christ Who lives in us.
–Blessed Columba Marmion (1858-1923)
