This Day's Thought-Monday

For me, prayer means launching out of the heart towards God; it means lifting up one’s eyes, quite simply, to Heaven, a cry of grateful love from the crest of joy or the trough of despair, it’s a vast, supernatural force which opens out my heart, and binds me close to Jesus.

Therese of Lisieux

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 1:18-20
The King James Version

I rejoice in my life because the lamp still glows;
I seek no thorny ways;
I love the small pleasures of life.
If the doors are too low, I bend;
If I can remove a stone from the path, I do so;
If it is too heavy, I go round it.
I find something in every day that pleases me.
The cornerstone, my belief in God, makes my heart glad and my face shining.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s mother
