The Divine Heart

“He was moved with compassion.”
— Matt. 9:36

“Let us trust Him more; let us seek to get more from Him; we cannot look for too much of His favour who has not spared His Son for us.”

“Christ will be a sure friend, and even if we begin to sink in the water, will stretch out His hand and lift us up. It is sweet to have His hand in any case, even if our failing foot has led Him to stretch it out.”
