Caring for your body

January 27

If Providence has removed from us the reason for neglecting the soul to worry about improving our body , has been infinite wisdom of God to be put into our hands all the means to beautify our souls , also after having deformed with fault. Just that the soul wants to collaborate with divine grace to its beauty can achieve such splendor , such beauty , such beauty that will attract to itself , for love or awe , not only the eyes but the Angels of God, to according to the testimony of the same scripture : "The king , ie God will desire your beauty."
