sewn into the coat of blaise pascal


The year of grace 1654, Monday, 23 November.

From about half past ten in the evening until about half past twelve,

FIRE.

GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, GOD of Jacob, not of the philosophers 
     and scholars.
Certitude. Certitude. Feeling. Joy. Peace.
GOD of Jesus Christ.
Deum meum et Deum vestrum.
"Your God shall be my God."
Forgetfulness of the world and of everything else, except GOD.
     He is only found by the ways taught in the Gospel.
     Greatness of the human soul.
     "Righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you."
     Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy.
