Reading: What a creation is the human soul! How magnificent its heights and depths! How wonderful are the possibilities of its passions and aspirations; every emotion sweeps over it. No mountain peak ascends higher; no ocean is so tempest-tossed. Within it there are urges that are terrific, and at times seem almost divine; yet never is the human soul so glorious, never so exalted, never so divine as in its search for its God. (MCM, p.191)
