For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics. faith, in spite of the humiliation which is both the necessary precondition and the consequence of faith, faith without any hope of compensation other than he can find in a faith which reality seems so thoroughly to refute.

More From Dag Hammarskjold

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
We need to practice acting in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we're not in the mood to act.

He in whose heart the law was, and who alone of all mankind was content to do it, his sacrifice alone can be the sacrifice all-sufficient in the father's sight as the proper sacrifice of humanity; he who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to god, he alone can give the spirit which enables us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to god. he is the only high-priest of the universe.
Father Heart Sacrifice
It is a common error, and the greater and more mischievous for being so common, to believe that repentance best becomes and most concerns dying men. indeed, what is necessary every hour of our life is necessary in the hour of death too, and as long as one lives he will have need of repentance, and therefore it is necessary in the hour of death too; but he who hath constantly exercised himself in it in his health and vigor, will do it with less pain in his sickness and weakness; and he who hath practiced it all his life, will do it with more ease and less perplexity in the hour of his death.
Pain Believe Men
What heart has not acknowledged the influence of this hour, the sweet and soothing hour of twilight, the hour of love, the hour of adoration, the hour of rest, when we think of those we love only to regret that we have not loved them more dearly, when we remember our enemies only to forgive them.
Sweet Regret Twilight
And then he drew a dial from his poke, and looking with lack-lustre eye, says very wisely, 'it is ten o'clock: thus we may see', quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'tis but an hour ago since it was nine, and after one hour more 'twill be eleven; and so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, and then from hour to hour we rot and rot.

He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. if his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
Betrayal Eye Keeping Secrets
Being away from home gave me the chance to look at myself with a jaundiced eye. i learned not to be ashamed of a real hunger for knowledge, something i had always tried to hide, and i came home glad to start in here again with a love for europe that i am afraid will never leave me.
