Spiritual growth is achieved with passion, difficulty, and intensity as much as it is achieved by peace, silence, and love.
~ Carolyn Forche
Blessed are You, Who understood my tears,
You comfort me with love's embrace.
Though my eyes cannot see You,
I feel your gentle Presence,
like angel wings lifting my spirit.
You turn my mourning into joy,
I dance to a new song.
Blessed are You, O loving companion
of my heart.
