“The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to render the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God - and be content to have it so - that is the danger. That some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with the husks and trappings of life - and have really missed life itself.” MayHas BeensLightFallFailingMissingDangerNeededHighestWake UpBusyPerceiveUnconsciousAbidingPresence Of God Author:Phillips Brooks

“We may say that on the first Good Friday afternoon was completed that great act by which light conquered darkness and goodness conquered sin. That is the wonder of our Saviour's crucifixion. There have been victories all over the world, but wherever we look for the victor we expect to find him with his heel upon the neck of the vanquished. The wonder of Good Friday is that the victor lies vanquished by the vanquished one. We have to look deeper into the very heart and essence of things before we can see how real the victory is that thus hides itself under the guise of defeat.” WorldFirstsLooksHeartMayHas BeensRealLightLyingSinWonderDarknessVictoryGoodnessEssenceDefeatDeeperNecksAfternoonHeelsFridaySaviourCrucifixionGuiseGood FridayFriday Afternoon Author:Phillips Brooks
