Matching Quote
"He prayed more deeply for simple selflessness than he had ever prayed before—and, feeling an
uprush
of grace in the very intention, shed the night in his heart and called it light. And walking out of the little church he felt confirmed in not only the worth of his whispered prayer but in the realization, as well, that Christ had become man and not some bell-shaped Corinthian column with volutes for veins and a mandala of stone foliage for a heart."
-Alexander Theroux
