Faith Quote by Robert Nathan
““His mother on the other hand, drawing his head down to her bosom, exclaimed with a sigh, “My poor son.” And she remained silent, lost in mysterious thoughts which troubled and perplexed him. Presently she added, “I can assure you that what you imagine to be so important, is not important at all.” And because she was of a devout turn of mind, she concluded mysteriously, “Faith alone will help you to bear the disappointments of life. The Church is a great refuge. Never forget to say your prayers.””
