Fire!
reaidng a generous orthodoxy and i guess that i will say there are some questions and some praises i have for this book it has challenged me and made me think which is i suppose more than most books even atempt. the chapter on being a mystic/poetic i think may be what i needed to think about more. how art and religion are intertwind in scripture but art is resented by most religious leaders today is wierd. there are some other great thoughts in the book and the one that says remember the movie contact when the lady in the space ship says beauty undesribable poetry they should have sent a poet. that got me and i hope that my life is full of experiences that are poetic that cant be described in an essay but figuritive language that doesnt make complete sense but is still beautiful!
i guess my boy blaise pascal had a good grasp on this when he was 31 was swept away into that great abyss... fire!

From about half past ten in the evening until about half past

God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, (Ex 3:6; Mt 22:32)
not of the philosophers and scholars.
Certitude. Certitude. Feeling. Joy. Peace.
God of Jesus Christ.
"Thy God and my God." (Jn 20:17)
Forgetfulness of the world and of everything, except God.
He is to be found only in the ways taught in the Gospel.
Greatness of the Human Soul.
"Righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee,
but I have known Thee." (Jn 17:25)
Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy.
I have separated myself from Him.
"They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters." (Jn 2:13)
"My God, wilt Thou leave me?" (Mt 27:46)
Let me not be separated from Him eternally.
"This is eternal life,
that they might know Thee, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." (Jn 17:3)
Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST
I have separated myself from Him:
I have fled from Him,
denied Him,
crucified Him.
Let me never be separated from Him.
We keep hold of Him only by the ways taught in the Gospel.
Renunciation, total and sweet.
Total submission to Jesus Christ and to my director.
Eternally in joy for a day's training on earth.
"I will not forget thy words." (Ps 119:16) Amen.
