Spiritual Quotes

In the letting go........ is found the flight!"

It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ.

Thus it begins; the cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise god-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die."
