Brethren, Happiness Is Not Our Being's End

As The Tree Is Fertilized By Its Own Broken Branches And Fallen Leaves, And Grows Out Of Its Own Decay, So Men And Nations Are Bettered And Improved By Trial, And Refined Out Of Broken Hopes And Blighted Expectations.

He In Whose Heart The Law Was, And Who Alone Of All Mankind Was Content To Do It, His Sacrifice Alone Can Be The Sacrifice All-sufficient In The Father's Sight As The Proper Sacrifice Of Humanity; He Who Through The Eternal Spirit Offered Himself Without Spot To God, He Alone Can Give The Spirit Which Enables Us To Present Our Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy And Acceptable To God. He Is The Only High-priest Of The Universe.

That Friend, Given To You By Circumstances Over Which You Have Not Control, Was God's Own Gift.

To Turn Water Into Wine, And What Is Common Into What Is Holy, Is Indeed The Glory Of Christianity.

There Is A Divine Depth In Silence. We Meet God Alone.
