Devotions in Elizabeth House

About the Book

“All shall be good; All shall be good” St. Julian of Warwyick The sweetness, the peaceful gift of early morning cool, in summer, comes to me often out images and thought brought in yesterday’s visitations, A closeness to good, the distance to strife, the pace of the sure and purposed – these fill my being in such moments. Let none, or I in myself, weep over the bittersweetness of standing, mortal.
