St Isaiah The Solitary
On Guarding The Intellect: Twenty-Seven Texts
1.
In your natural
anger do not sin in thought,
in word, or in deed.
But like Job be angry when
thinking, speaking, and acting.
2.
We must never leave
our God-given mystical
city of refuge.
It is the secret weapon
of perpetual praying.
