"Only the form of a slave, shaped by Jesus’ hallowed and hallowing spirit, could bear the weight of divine glory" The implication of this is staggering. Love it!
To have this meekness without self pity is very difficult. This can only be done by forcing myself to pray no matter what the circumstances or fear surrounds me trying to choke me out of my leaning on the Holy Spirit moment by moment. The picture of St. Anthony surrounded by demons to deny him the peace of Christ is so powerful. That painting has seared in my mind for the rest of my life.

I am finally understanding Fear of the Lord through this, and it is so opposite of what I was led to think. Thank you for this series, this beauty.
