Quote of the day, 5 February: Jessica Powers

God is the dawn, wakening earth to life;
the first morning ever,
shining with infinite innocence; a revelation
older than all beginning, younger than youth.
God is the noon, blinding the eye of the mind
with the blaze of truth.
God is the sunset, casting over creation
a color of glory
as He withdraws into mysteries of light.

Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit, o.c.d. (Jessica Powers)
