Brainerd: a glimpse

Tuesday, August 4, 2015
    Feast of John Vianney, Curè d’Ars, 1859
Meditation:
    In [Christ Jesus] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
    —Ephesians 3:12 (NIV)
Quotation:
    In the evening [I] enjoyed some comfort and satisfaction; and especially had some sweetness in secret prayer. This duty was made so agreeable to me, that I loved to walk abroad, and repeatedly engage in it. Oh, how comfortable is a little glimpse of God!

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are always present that I may turn to You. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
