They find seven cornices on which penitent and redeemed sinners are cleansed by the grace of God. On the first cornice, that of Pride, the proud are learning humility: Our Father, dwelling in the Heavens, nowise As circumscribed, but as the things above, Thy first effects, are dearer in Thine eyes, Hallowed Thy name be and the Power thereof, By every creature, as right meet it is We praise the tender effluence of Thy love. Let come to us, let come Thy kingdom's peace.
A prayer may chance to rise From one whose heart lives in the grace of God. A prayer from any other is unheeded.
So may heaven's grace clear away the foam from the conscience, that the river of thy thoughts may roll limpid thenceforth.
I am made of God, through his Grace. Such that your misery touches me not, Nor does flame of that burning assail me.
