He is the remedy for our wounds.
He is help in time of trouble.
He is the source of repair
for all those who are falling back,
and He is the source of abundance
for those who advance.
Finally He is the means by which human beings
have or receive whatever is good and appropriate for them.
-Bernard of Clairveaux (1090-1153), from The Way of Simplicity by Esther De Waal
Amen to that.
