So passes away the glory of this world. ('Sic transit gloria mundi.')
My God, Sweetness beyond words, make bitter all the carnal comfort that draws me from love of the eternal and lures me to its evil self by the sight of some delightful good in the present. Let it not overcome me, my God. Let not flesh and blood conquer me. Let not the world and its brief glory deceive me, nor the devil trip me by his craftiness. Give me courage to resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere. Give me the soothing unction of Your spirit rather than all the consolations of the world, and in place of carnal love, infuse into me the love of Your name.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Oh how swiftly the glory of the world passes away! If only the lives of these men had been as admirable as their learning, their study and reading would have been to good purpose! But how many in this world care little for the service of God, and perish in their vain learning. Because they choose to be great rather than humble, they perish in their own conceit.
Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death; trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.
Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!
The glory of the good is in their consciences, and not in the tongues of men.
All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing; and His peace passing all understanding.
