We are, as a whole, too attached to vain things.

Don't get me wrong, things of this earth were created by God for us to enjoy, and that is good and right. But when we can not live without them, when they supplant our need for God, when we look to them instead of the things above, we are too attached.
I love the house I built myself, but if God burns it to the ground, I will give thanks.
I love the many costumes I've made over the years, but if God takes them from me, I will give thanks.
The strongest faith I have seen was not in people who had everything but those that society abandoned. The woman on the street corner who wasn't sure when she was going to eat again. The girl who asked me to drive her across town because she had to take care of her mother, both of whom hadn't eaten, neither of whom could get jobs.
We should strive to be more like them, to be lovers of poverty. It's when we have nothing, that we learn how much we need Him.

Conversion is not a moment. There is never a time when you simply decide to be one thing and not another. Conversion is a choice. Even when Saul is struck from his horse and blinded, he could have continued his path of persecution. The same is true for us. Each of us must wake up every day and choose what kind of person we are going to be.
With varying levels of success. I have days where I am a behemoth of my faith and unbelievable to behold, and there are days when I struggle to do even basic tasks.
The difficulty is irrelevant, only the constant, daily decision matters.

In Gondor Quenya was considered a difficult language, distant, like the land of Valinor, and learned only by a few. Sindarin, on the other hand, was called in Gondor the β€˜noble tongue’ and was spoken by many: β€œSindarin was an acquired polite language {among Humans} and used by those of more pure NΓΊmenΓ³rean descent, esp. in Minas Tirith, if they wished to be polite,” wrote Tolkien in Letter n° 347.
