To the one from whom much was despoiled and plundered, the gaze of God goes most directly, and the holiest help He gives. ~Marie Hosdil~

God's Presence Is Our True Refuge!

We do not know perhaps, what or where our pain is; we are so used to it that we do not call it pain. Still so it is; we need a relief to our hearts that they may be dark and sullen no longer, or that they may not go on feeding upon themselves.

We need to escape from ourselves to something beyond. And much as we may wish it otherwise and may try to make idols to ourselves, nothing short of God's presence is our true refuge!

Lead Kindly Light, Cardinal Newman
