Dostoyevsky
Went this past thursday night to " New City Cafe " in the old City in Knoxville , with my son ,and Doug one of my buddies , to a study of " The Gospel in Dostoyevsky " , by Father Freeman of Oak Ridge , here is a little bit in the opening of The Grand Inquistor :
He came softly , unobserved , and yet , strange to say , everyone recognized Him . The people are irresistibly drawn to Him , they surround Him , they flock about Him , follow Him . He moves silently in their midst with a gentle smile of infinite compassion . The sun of love burns in His heart ; light snd power shine from His eyes ; and their radiance , shed on the people , stirs their hearts with responsive love . He holds out His hands to them and blesses them and a healing virtue comes from contact with Him , even with His garments .........
How does He effect you ?
