    Thank you Father for doing this. It is fortuitous that I happened upon this podcast via Twitter.. I received this devotion from my father and have been renewing my Conseceration for over 25 years now. This podcast makes it very easy to follow along, and I thank you for your time and effort to produce this for us. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe and healthy. You inspire me...!

These are the words of Christ, by which we are admonished, how we ought to imitate His life and manners, if we would truly be enlightened, and delivered from all blindness of heart.

But Whosoever will fully and with relish understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ. 2. What doth it avail thee to discourse profoundly of the Trinity, if thou be void of humility, ...
