Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
