Elizabeth Ann Seton

John Milton

[MysteRy]

Teresa of Avila

[MysteRy]

Friedrich Jacobi

[MysteRy]

We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Abraham Lincoln
