We Pray Thee, O Christ, To Keep Us Under The Spell Of Immortality. My We Never Again Think And Act As If Thou Were Dead. Let Us More And More Come To Know Thee As A Living Lord Who Hath Promised To Them That Believe: "because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also." Help Us To Remember That We Are Praying To The Conqueror Of Death, That We May No Longer Be Afraid Nor Dismayed By The World's Problems And Threats, Since Thou Hast Overcome The World. In Thy Strong Name, We Ask For Thy Living Presence And Thy Victorious Power. Amen.

If You Hug To Yourself Any Resentment Against Anybody Else, You Destroy The Bridge By Which God Would Come To You.

If God Does Not Enter Your Kitchen, There Is Something Wrong With Your Kitchen. If You Can't Take God Into Your Recreation, There Is Something Wrong With Your Play. We All Believe In The God Of The Heroic. What We Need Most These Days Is The God Of The Humdrum, The Commonplace, The Everyday.

Teach Us, O Lord, The Disciplines Of Patience, For To Wait Is Often Harder Than To Work.

Let His Almighty Nail-pierced Hands Hold The Wheel, And You Will Be Safe.
