19th January – Saint Wulfstan
Woe then to him who has earned for himself the torments of Hell. Woe to him who dwells in torment: better it were for him that he were never born, than that he become thus. My view is quite different. We unfortunates are destroying the works of Saints, in order to win praise for ourselves. In that happy age men were incapable of building for display; their way was to sacrifice themselves to God under any sort of roof and to encourage their subjects to follow their example. But we strive to pile up stones while neglecting souls - Saint Wulfstan
