From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.

John Henry Newman

There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Passion Sky Struggle
By a garden is meant mystically a place of spiritual repose, stillness, peace, refreshment, delight.

God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
