Holy Friendships…
Holy intersession
… raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that
has been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of
intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over
the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will again be in
fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world …
Be daily,
therefore on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such
length, importunity and earnestness, as you use for yourself, and you find all
little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous,
delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in
your own.
William Law
(1686 ~ 1761)
