This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.

We live in the world when we love it.

Give Me Strength This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart. Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might. Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles. And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

Music fills the infinite between two souls. This has been muffled by the mist of our daily habits.

Repentance is a gift of God's grace.
