From

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 — We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

From

the jaws of death

to

the gates of life,

from

the bowels of suffering

to

the fruits of perseverance,

from

the midnight of darkness

to

the midday of light,

from

the vapor of flesh

to

the eternity of spirit,

I have been

set free.

Amen.
