from me a support – my confidence in prayer;
that which is, as it were, the wings wherewith
to fly to my God! If it be loosened, then I fall
powerless in the dust, without consolation or
hope.
I bend my energies, it is Crue, towards
attaining the great and glorious light of
knowledge, but it appears to me that therein is
human arrogance: it is, as one should say, “I
will be as wise as God.” “That you shall be!”
said the serpent to our first parents when it

must acknowledge the truth of what the
astronomer teaches and proves. I see the
wonderful, eternal omniscience of God in the
whole creation of the world – in the great and
in the small, where the one attaches itself to
the other, is joined with the other, in an endless
harmonious entireness; and I tremble in my
greatest need and sorrow. What can my
prayer change, where everything is law, from
eternity to eternity?
