Prayer Is Climbing Up Into The Heart

What Is It To Serve God And To Do His Will? Nothing Else Than To Show Mercy To Our Neighbor. For It Is Our Own Neighbor Who Needs Our Service; God In Heaven Needs It Not.

From You, My Dear Erasmus, Let Me Obtain This Request, That Just As I Bear With Your Ignorance In These Matters, So You In Turn Will Bear With My Lack Of Eloquence.

I Have Held Many Things In My Hands, And I Have Lost Them All; But Whatever I Have Placed In God's Hands, That I Still Possess.

They [rulers] Must Act Like A Good Physician Who, When Gangrene Has Set In Proceeds Without Mercy To Cut, Saw, And Burn Flesh, Veins, Bone, And Marrow. Such A Procedure Must Also Be Followed In This Instance. Burn Down Their Synagogues, Forbid All That I Enumerated Earlier, Force Them To Work, And Deal Harshly With Them, As Moses Did... If This Does Not Help We Must Drive Them Out Like Mad Dogs.

I Admit That I Deserve Death And Hell, What Of It? For I Know One Who Suffered And Made Satisfaction On My Behalf. His Name Is Jesus Christ, Son Of God, And Where He Is There I Shall Be Also!
