Shadows of Divine Things

This site is devoted to theological and philosophical investigations of the spiritual meanings of life, current events, music, spiritual growth, nature, and learning to be attuned to listening to the 'language of God.' The name of this blog comes from one of Jonathan Edwards's journals which he called 'Shadows of Divine Things,' and later renamed 'Images of Divine Things.' As a Christian I am continously on a spiritual journey to grow more into the image of Christ, to understand what it means to be crucified with Christ. To seek the truths of the Christian Faith is of upmost importance, and to know that any truths that are found outside of Christianity are present there because they ultimately point to God. I have an M.A. in theology and apologetics and I completed one year of graduate studies in Philosophy at Marquette University.

Who Said It?

Can anyone out there guess who said this:

"The words, 'I want to be holy' mean: I will divest myself of everything that is not of God; I will divest myself and empty my heart of material things. I will renounce my own will, my inclininations, my whims, my fickleness; and I will become a generous slave to God's will."

Take your best stab at it and see if you can guess who said this.

Well, due to my underwhelming acquaintance with the writings of great saints, I'm afraid I'll have to pull this guess out of my left ear--St. Francis de Sales.

Small and quiet btw here, portions of the quote can be, you know, ***gle'd and "discovered" by those who might be tempted to (not your readers of course) CHEAT!
