A mission of sorrows, a mission to the poor, to the
sick and them that have cause for bitter tears, to them
of faint hope and fainter courage and faintest ambition
– yet a mission glorying in the privilege to serve. A
mission of poverty, without endowment or certain income
and sometime without so much as one dime, but daily
affording healing for the sick, food for the hungry,
sweet anodynes for them that mourn . . . A mission with
God and God's altars and God's sacraments and His love
and His mercy. Epiphany Mission, as sorrowful, yet
always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as
having nothing and yet possessing all things. |
