This day comes but once in four years. Goodness and mercy, like two guards, have followed us from day to day, and as this out-of-the-way day is one of the days of our life, the two guardian angels will be with us today also.
What Follows Us
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
~ Psalm 23:6
"A devout poet sings:
Lord, when Thou
Puttest in my time a day, as Thou dost now
Unknown in other years, grant, I entreat,
Such grace illumine it, that whatever its phase
It add to holiness, and lengthen praise!
This day comes but once in four years. Goodness and mercy, like two guards, have followed us from day to day, and as this out-of-the-way day is one of the days of our life, the two guardian angels will be with us today also.
Goodness to supply our needs, and mercy to blot out our sins - these shall attend our every step this day and every day till days shall be no more. By inventiveness of love let us make this twenty-ninth of February a day to be remembered forever."
