“Do not be surprised if you fall every day and do not surrender. Stand your ground bravely and you may be sure that your guardian angel will respect your endurance. A fresh, warm wound is easier to heal than those that are old, neglected, and festering, and that need extensive treatment, surgery, bandaging and cauterization. Long neglect can render many of them incurable. However, all things are possible with God (cf. Mt. 19:26).” St. John Climacus
Thank you for this, Terry. I am deeply touched by the quote and by the illustration. Jesus loves us so much, and God never tires of forgiving us. God bless you this Lent. Peace and all good - Susan, ofs
ReplyDeleteTerry yes, He knows us so intimately, so deeply, better than we ourselves ever can. Such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteif you think of it sometime - would you tell us what this painting is, who is the artist ?

Terry shared several works of art by this Polish artist some time ago. (I think he's Polish)
