Words from In Conversation With God

Poignant, really, so I reckon it is worth sharing . . .

But often, unfortunately, the true point of reference for us is not God, but ourselves.  Hence the necessity for this continual effort to immerse ourselves in God, to be attentive to his least requirement, avoiding self-centredness in our thoughts, or at least keeping them directed to God by doing some good works specifically for him, or offering them up as sacrifices.  (p. 613, volume3, Francis Fernandez)
