Product Overview
IN our religion, and in the worship which is the expression of our religion, we look out towards Eternity; and bit by bit, in various ways and degrees, we discover in ourselves a certain capacity for Eternityand more than this, a deep thirst for the Unchanging, a need of God. But because we have lost purity of heart, we cannot recognize the way in which that capacity can be filled, that thirst satisfied, that profound need of our nature met. Indeed, this self-opening of the creature to the Eternal, this breaking down of the barriers of self-love, is not an obvious nor an easy process: it makes demands upon the half-grown and half-awakened human spirit which, in its solitude, it can hardly meet. The soul is responding, it is true, to a call, a demand which comes from the very heart of Reality and speaks to something within itself which already has kinship with that Reality. But the call is not always easy to interpret; nor is the way to meet the demand very clear. Our minds are distracted, our desires are divided, our vision is clouded. Left to ourselves, beset by confusing circumstances and contradictory voices, we are seldom able to recognize the things that belong to our peace.
