Thomas a Kempis
If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
