A spiritual life is a life in which our security is based not in any created things, good as they may be, but in God, who is everlasting love.

We probably will never be completely free from our attachment to the temporal world, but if we want to live in that world in a truly free way, we'd better not belong to it.

"You cannot be the slave both of God and of money" (Luke 16:13).
