Taylor: the seeds of praise
Feast of Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down & Connor, Priest, Teacher, 1667 Commemoration of Florence Nightingale, Social Reformer, 1910 Commemoration of Octavia Hill, Worker for the Poor, 1912
Meditation:
The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.—Psalm 145:14 (NIV)
Quotation:
Every furrow in the book of the Psalms is sown with such seeds [of praise and thanksgiving]. I know nothing more certain, more constant, to expel the sadness of the world, than to sound out the praises of the Lord as with a trumpet: and when the heart is cast down, it will make it rebound from earth to heaven. ... Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667), Christian Consolations, in The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D., v. I, London: Ogle, Duncan and Company, 1822, p. 131
