Quote of the Day (St. John Henry Newman, on Advent)

Earth-bound soul, awake and spring,—

With the sun new-risen to shed

Health on human suffering.”—Englist theologian, poet, educator and memoirist St. John Henry Newman (1801-1890), “Advent-Lauds” (translated from a 5^th-century hymn, from his Verses on Various Occasions (1880)
