Purity Prepares The Soul For

Faith Ventures And Hazards . . . Counting The Costs And Delighting In The Sacrifice.

Let Us Act On What We Have, Since We Have Not What We Wish.

There Are Wounds Of The Spirit Which Never Close And Are Intended In God's Mercy To Bring Us Nearer To Him, And To Prevent Us Leaving Him By Their Very Perpetuity. Such Wounds Then May Almost Be Taken As A Pledge, Or At Least As A Ground For A Humble Trust, That God Will Give Us The Great Gift Of Perseverance To The End. This Is How I Comfort Myself In My Own Great Bereavements.

Why Should We Be Willing To Go By Faith? We Do All Things In This World By Faith In The Word Of Others. By Faith Only We Know Our Position In The World, Our Circumstances, Our Rights And Privileges, Our Fortunes, Our Parents, Our Brothers And Sisters, Our Age, Our Mortality. Why Should Religion Be An Exception?

Flagrant Evils Cure Themselves By Being Flagrant.
