... All the submission, all the dejection in the world Are not equal in value to the soaring up point. The beautiful straight soaring up of one single invocation From a love that is free. From ' GOD SPEAKS by Charles Peguy Kneel up straight, child. And if you can ' t quite make it, take My big hand. I ' ll pull you up. You talk of being grown up enough to look the world in the face at college, in an office, in a new home or maybe in a convent. I really have to laugh at that, I Who am older than Time itself and am still baffled by the antics of that round globe that I created. In your busy new life think of Me once in a while. It ' s little enough to ask. And when you do think to pray to Me, I beg just one small favor. If you love me, kneel up straight, in body and in soul, and be a Woman.
