“WHILE riding the metro in Leningrad, I was overcome with
despair so great that life seemed to stop at once, pre-empting
the future entirely, let alone any meaning. Suddenly, all by
itself, a phrase astonished: ‘Without God life makes no sense.’
Repeating it in astonishment, I rode the phrase up like a moving
staircase, got out of the metro and walked into God’s light”.

there was serious and devout participation by all. Even after
the long service people were in no hurry to leave the church.

most of us on Sunday last, the crowds that were in Rome attest
to the devotion of ordinary people, which show how out of touch
the media are.
