Lenten Meditation: I Believe

I believe in God, who is for me spirit, love, the principle

of all things.

I believe that God is in me, as I am in him.

I believe that the true welfare of man consists in fulfilling

The will of God….

I believe that the will of God is that every man should love

his fellow-men….

I believe that the reason of life is for each of us simply to

grow in love.

~Leo Tolstoy
