You know it.
71. That piece of pagan anthropomorphism: the belief that, in order to educate us, God wishes us to suffer. How far from this is the assent to suffering when it strikes us because we have obeyed what we have seen to be God's will. (164)
72. The pure, simple self at the hour of waking -- and the first thing it sees -- its grotesque image in the distorting mirror of yesterday. (164)
73. Did'st Thou give me this inescapable loneliness so that it would be easier for me to give Thee all? (166)

Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done --
(166)
75. Lord -- Thine the day,
And I the day's. (170)
