Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR
From that dull, dead block of marble, there is evoked
by the artist's tools a form radiant with beauty.
The angels of affliction are often God's best sculptors.
By their sharp chiselling, stroke after stroke, loveless
lives have been made lovely, common people have
become great, dead lives have been quickened into
the likeness of Christ—transformed into His image.
No! not, as we have said, "angels." The Lord of angels
delegates this work to no subordinates. And when the
shaping and moulding and fashioning are completed, the
legend is inscribed—"Made perfect through suffering!"
