WISDOM of the SAINTS ~ "The nature of water is soft, and the nature of stone is hard; but if a bottle is hung above a stone, allowing the water to fall down drop by drop, it wears away the stone.  So it is with the Word of God: it is soft and our heart is hard, but the man who hears the Word of God often opens his heart to the fear of God."  Saint Poemen (ca. A.D. 400)
