[b]Come to Christ, Everyone![/b]

by St. Ambrose

"In Christ we possess everything. Let every soul approach Him, be it sick with sins of the flesh, fastened down by the nails of worldly desires; admittedly still imperfect, progressing by intense meditation, or already perfect in its many virtues.

"Everyone is in the Lord's power, and Christ is all things to us. If you desire to heal your wounds, He is your doctor; if you are on fire with fever, He is your fountain; if you are burdened with iniquity, He is your justification; if you need help, He is your strength; if you fear death, He is your life; if you desire heaven, He is your way; if you are fleeing from darkness, He is your light; if you are seeking food, He is your nourishment: Taste and see that the Lord is good.

"Happy is the man who takes refuge in Him."
