The Task

Truth is eternal,
knowledge is changeable.
It is disastrous to confuse them.

Madeleine L'Engle

Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you. What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course, it is the cross.

Flannery O'Connor

~~~ Lord, where shall I find You? High and hidden is Your place. And where shall I not find You? The world is full of Your glory. . I have sought Your nearness, With all my heart I called to You And in going out to meet You I found you coming in to meet me.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the reassurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." ~~~ ~~~ The Sense of Wonder #morningwalk #lafayetteriver #norfolkva #brownpelican #rachelcarson #senseofwonder #thisismyfathersworld #charlottemasonlife

How is it possible?

How is it that God permeates the universe, that everything that is - comes from his hand; that every thought and emotion we have - has significance only in Him yet we are neither shaken nor inflamed by the reality of His presence, but able to live as though He did not exist? How is this truly Satanic deceit possible? Romano Guardini

To See

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie—
True Poems flee—

O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi, dignare clemens supplicum Laudes preces que sumere. Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis. Nos membra confer effici, tui beati corporis.
