It seemed pertinant to the discussion of Lent, Suffering & Joy
“If we accept that we have at least an iota of free will, we cannot
throw it back the moment things go wrong. Like a human parent, God will
help us when we ask for help, but in a way that will make us more
mature, more real, not in a way that will diminish us.”
—Madeleine L'Engle
