The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
Rain down your wisdom in sacred streams to carry me like an upturned leaf through the currents of this grey day.
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
