Jn. 12:32), making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, while your faith was the means by which you ascended, and your love the way which led up to God.

    Jesus   Father  
  • No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth.

  • Now I begin to be a disciple. I care for nothing, of visible or invisible things, so that I may but win Christ.

    Jesus   Prayer   Father
