                        'There are not as many souls who go astray,
                        as there are souls who go through life
                        half-perfected,
                        half-formed,
                        half in love with God.
                        There are not as many crosses and trials
                        trampled down and cast back into the face of God,
                        as there are inspirations of grace unheeded,
                        and invitations to intimacy with God
                        declined.'

(from In Love With The Divine Outcast, compiled by A Religious, Pelligrini, Australia, 1934, p. 52)

Painting: Otto Karl Kirberg, 1918
