How burdened these intercessions of the Holy Spirit! How profoundly he feels the world’s sin, the world’s woe, and the world’s loss, and how deeply he sympathizes with the dire conditions, are seen in his groanings which are too deep for utterance and too sacred to be voiced by him. He inspires us to this most divine work of intercession, and his strength enables us to sigh unto God for the oppressed, the burdened and the distressed creation.
