ST. JOHN CARDINAL NEWMAN: God Beholds You.... He calls you by your name. He sees you and understands you as He made you. He knows what is in you, all your peculiar feelings and thoughts, your disposition and likings, your strength and your weakness. He views you in your day of rejoicing and in your day of sorrow. He sympathizes in your hopes and your temptations. He interests Himself in all your anxieties and remembrances, all the risings and fallings of your spirit... He encompasses you round and bears you in His arms... He notes your very countenance, whether smiling or in tears... He looks tenderly upon you... He hears your voice, the beating of your heart and your very breathing. You do not love yourself better than He loves you.
