on the exercise of religion

We should renew our purpose daily, and should stir up ourselves to fresh enthusiasm as though this were the first day of our conversion, and we should say,"Help me, Lord Jesus, that I may persevere in my good purpose and in your holy service to my life's end. Grant that I may now, this very day, perfectly begin, for what I have done in the past is as nothing."

Thomas a Kempis
