Beholding the Glory of God by Richard Bennett

It is glorious to grasp even slightly the excellence of the glory of God. It is through this knowledge the Lord God graciously enlightens our minds, convicts our consciences, redeems our souls, and rejoices our hearts. The Lord God is the author of all this, but we are His instruments to personally understand His Glory and thus to share this knowledge with our friends, our family, and those that we meet each day. Compared to beholding this splendor, Catholic rituals are utterly deceitful and meaningless.
