Pendragon's Shield Quotes

“Tan my hide, but this Henry was one of us, with a true love of Mother Church, and would surely have been a recusant in later days! Hear you all, they called him the mirror of Christian kings, and he had his soldiers sing Non Nobis and Te Deum when the field was won!”

“Nothing human is a stranger
To God on the tree in agony.
He is in one place, and in all,
The Calvary of Mankind.
He is not safe from our iniquity,
Nor is He absent from our misery.
He is undone in all our history,
And will not leave a curse to mystery.”
― Avellina Balestri, Pendragon's Shield: A Poetry Collection

“Was Christ before me
In this Waiting Room,
Gazing out
Through smoke-seared eyes
And mumbling
Through drug-cracked lips?”
