*Elect according to the foreknowledge of God.*
Companions of the Way (Evening)ABOVE the perplexities and difficulties that beset his young footsteps, Raphael heard always one clear voice that told of the perfect path: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
To that voice he listened in childlike obedience, that path he followed in swift white faithfulness. He little dreamed, nor did we dream who loved him, how soon the promise he had heard would find fulfilment, and the clear vision that his soul desired be given to his boyish eyes.
Yet was not the knowledge always with us that God had some beautiful answer, here or elsewhere, to all his questionings, some special gift of love to one so manifestly chosen?
