ONE BENEDICTINE MONK'S VIEW FROM SAINT MEINRAD ARCHABBEY

Friday, October 14, 2011

The senses suddenly cry out in terror to the soul:

"Unhappy one, now you are lost, you have no resource left!"

And faith, with a stronger voice, replies at once:

"Keep firm, advance, and fear nothing."

-- Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J.
