Our eyes should see only for God, our feet walk only for Him, our hands labor for Him alone; in short, our entire body should serve God while we still have the time. Then, when He shall take our health and we shall near our last day, our conscience will not reproach us for having misused it."  (From Daily Salesian Inspiration )     Peter Kreeft, Ph.D. “The point is simply that without God’s grace we cannot be good.
