In times of dryness and desolation we must be patient, and wait with resignation the return of consolation, putting our trust in the goodness of God.  We must animate ourselves by the thought that God is always with us, that he only allows this trial for our greater good, and that we have not necessarily lost his grace because we have lost the taste and feeling of it.

Ignatius of Loyola

“Return, you backsliding children, And I will heal your backslidings.    Indeed we do come to You, For You are the Lord our God.”

Jeremiah 3:22
The New King James Version

Every Sunday the ducks waddle out of their houses and waddle down Main Street to their church.  They waddle into the sanctuary and squat in their proper pews.  The duck choir waddles in and takes its place, then the duck minister comes forward and opens the duck Bible.  He reads to them:  “Ducks!  God has given you wings!  With wings you can fly!  With wings you can mount up and soar like eagles.  No walls can confine you!  No fences can hold you!  You have wings.  God has given you wings and you can fly like birds!”  All the ducks shouted, “Amen!”  And they all waddled home.

Soren Kierkegaard
