After seeing the awful black hopelessness of these poor blinded people, I often wonder how I have been so indifferent to their needs in the past. It is surely through not having valued sufficiently the wondrous grace that has been shown to me by the Blessed One who said,
“Freely ye have received, freely give.”
May we all value more His grace, and seek more earnestly to bring others to the knowledge of it, that they may swell the number of those who shall stand in His presence in the day of His manifested glory.
In our readings we have had continually brought before us what a place the Lord’s coming and glory had in the heart of the Apostle Paul, and what an incentive it was to him in seeking the salvation and building up of souls.
