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.

John Henry Newman

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Eye Religious Waiting
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

To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dark Light
If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable… we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Certainty Creeps Soar
How many writers are there… who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
