      · (a sermon: fragments)

      did this thing as i have told you of which if there is any man or woman can say different step forward

      so in my grieving it came to me a penance i could do in this world for he who tries to enter into heaven shall open the gates of hell you must renounce your claim on heaven to enter it you must enter into this world to claim heaven

      take up our words as we took up His your conviction convinces others of His words

      do not be quick to rebuke or condemn lest in the words leaving your lips you echo yourself

      we will not see it in our lifetime nor in our children’s lifetime nor in the lifetimes of their children’s children but in the time of all their children this loving & this forgiveness will be everywhere until we will have founded the peaceful Kingdom God intended for us in this world
