She Stood Before Him And Surrendered Herself To Him And Sky, Forest, And Brook All Came Toward Him In New And Resplendent Colors, Belonged To Him, And Spoke To Him In His Own Language.

Love Is Stronger Than Violence.

God Does Not Send Us Despair In Order To Kill Us; He Sends It In Order To Awaken Us To New Life.
