The Sabbatical Quotes

“You do the duty of the tasks at hand,” he lectured himself in a whisper, prompting the man sitting opposite to lift his eyes from the Times. “You keep faith with your responsibilities and your vocation, and you love the souls you’ve brought into the world, and the souls God brings into your life. You work and you pray. You try to turn everything into prayer, and you practice hope. You keep your eyes trained on the true horizon.” Anyway, that was his theory—one that he believed was true. The praxis was more difficult.”
