THE CONCEPTION OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, 23rd Sept

CLOUDS OF GLORY.

 Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, has had elsewhere its setting and comes from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory as we come from God, who is our home. (William Wordsworth, 1770 - 1850, England)
