"This, then is our desert: to live facing despair, but not to consent. To trample it down under hope in the Cross. To wage war against despair unceasingly. That war is our wilderness. If we wage it courageously, we will find Christ at our side. If we cannot face it, we will never find him."

Our prayers for the repose of the soul of a good and honourable churchman, one of the few who dared defy the Anglican "episcopal club" and stand up for the faith once delivered to the saints.
Requiescat in pacem

That's too bad - I liked him.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace.
A man of great integrity and spirituality. He probably did not realise how important he has been to so many people in the last few years. I pray God rest his soul and I ask the grace of consolation for his family. RIP
