    Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
    —Bible: New Testament St. John the Divine, in Revelation, 22:20.

    from the penultimate verse in the New Testament; the last is: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
