Quote of the Day (Jessica Powers, on “Garments of God”)

“He is clothed in the robes of His mercy, voluminous garments --
not velvet or silk and affable to the touch,

but fabric strong for a frantic hand to clutch,

and I hold to it fast with the fingers of my will.”—Jessica Powers, later known as the Carmelite nun Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit (1905-88), from “Garments of God,” in Invisible Light: Poems About God, edited by Diane Culbertson (2000)
