Let's Draw Near to Our Lord Together. Thursday, February 28, 2013. What is Common to All. The Power of Sin.

Is it not submission to the Will of God?

Dennis the Eremite: A Solemn Epithalamion*
http://dennistheeremite.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-solemn-epithalamion.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The two of you have moved into a mystery,. Not in the modern sense of stumbling through a maze. Of thievery and mayhem, murder and deception,. Confusion, ignorance (though some have made it that);. And not into the great and highest mystery,. The world of opening doors into infinity. Not yet that mystery, but the one next like it! So prepare for last rites, the sentencing of self. For you must give your life to gain the unforeseen:. You carry in yourself the soul of your beloved.
