Quote of the day

What some people interpret as brooding melancholy is serenity. I don't feel required to grasp all the time.

Mary Potter

I cannot but feel I have had a call from God to devote myself to help save souls in their last hour. . . . . I have been drawn so strongly to pray for the dying and I believe it to be a work appointed for me, perpetual prayer for the dying.

I have no idea what happens, but I do respond to other cultures that treat life with a much more positive approach. It teaches - especially when you're a child - it teaches you to be afraid of everything, you feel like something bad is always going to happen.
