Twilight Talks To Tired Hearts PDF Download

Excerpt from Twilight Talks to Tired Hearts But we are in no doubt, as some of the Jews were. We know that the humble Nazarene was God walking on His own earth; God passing over His own brook Cedron; God fasting in His own awful desert, where the wild beasts howled and fought. And knowing our God, the Founder first of our world, and then the Founder of our Chris tian Catholic religion, we have no reason to blush for Him, no reason to be ashamed on His account. But has He no reason to be ashamed of us? Can we come before Him with unblushing cheeks? Have we no failures and backslidings with which to reproach ourselves? No promises made to God and broken ruthlessly? No grace-giving sacraments neglected, no prayers left unsaid? Aye, question of questions, have we committed no mortal sins? We have no cause to blush at our Savior's poverty, for it was of His own choosing. He could have been a king, and overthrown Herod's power, if He said the word. But we must blush for the poverty we find in our own spiritual lives -the thread-bare warp and woof of our resolu tions, the broken and discolored fragments that we call prayers, the wind-beaten and distracted graces which have tried to plant their seed in our souls.
