The Angel of His presence saved them
Companions of the Way (Morning)TO refuse the world, to oppose it, to correct it, to overcome it, is the labour by which our mind and will are brought into conformity with the Divine. And in this labour we feel ourselves fellow-workers and free instruments of that indwelling God whom, knowing to be infinite, we must think of as equivalently finite, and as the eternal ideal of perfected humanity; as one afflicted in all our afflictions; as sharing our griefs and carrying our sorrows; as crucified with us on the cross of this ruthless determinism which His own hands have prepared to be the instrument of our deliverance and deification, and on which He Himself is racked and tormented, in us and with us.
