All The Ways Of This World Are

I Have Devoted My Energies To The Study Of The Scriptures, Observing Monastic Discipline, And Singing The Daily Services In Church; Study, Teaching, And Writing Have Always Been My Delight.

All The Ways Of This World Are As Fickle And Unstable As A Sudden Storm At Sea.

And I Pray Thee, Loving Jesus, That As Thou Hast Graciously Given Me To Drink In With Delight The Words Of Thy Knowledge, So Thou Wouldst Mercifully Grant Me To Attain One Day To Thee, The Fountain Of All Wisdom And To Appear Forever Before Thy Face.

Christ Is The Morning Star, Who, When The Night Of This World Is Past, Gives To His Saints The Promise Of The Light Of Life, And Opens Everlasting Day.

I Think The Mother Is Gradually Revealing Itself To Me And Taking Over. But It Is Not The Mother Alone. It Is The Mother And The Father, The Male And The Female, Sort Of Gradually Having Their Marriage.
