Many A Man Curses The Rain That

When A Sunbeam Falls On A Transparent Substance, The Substance Itself Becomes Brilliant, And Radiates Light From Itself. So Too Spirit Bearing Souls, Illumined By Him, Finally Become Spiritual Themselves, And Their Grace Is Sent Forth To Others. From This Comes Knowledge Of The Future, Understanding Of Mysteries, Apprehension Of Hidden Things, Distribution Of Wonderful Gifts, Heavenly Citizenship, A Place In The Choir Of Angels, Endless Joy In The Presence Of God, Becoming Like God, And, The Highest Of All Desires, Becoming God.

As The Pilot Of A Vessel Is Tried In The Storm; As The Wrestler Is Tried In The Ring, The Soldier In The Battle, And The Hero In Adversity: So Is The Christian Tried In Temptation.

Every Evil Is A Sickness Of Soul, But Virtue Offers The Cause Of Its Health.

Our Savior Was Crucified For Our Sakes That By His Death He Might Give Us Life And Train And Attract Us All To Endurance. To Him I Press On, And To The Father And To The Holy Spirit. I Strive To Be Found True, Judging Myself Unworthy Of This World's Goods; And Yet Not I Because Of The World, But The World Because Of Me. Think Of All These Things In Your Heart; Follow Them With Zeal; Fight, As You Have Been Commanded, For The Truth To The Death: For Christ Was Made 'obedient' Even 'to Death'

The Human Being Is An Animal Who Has Received The Vocation To Become God.
