God's Wheat

 

"Let me be food for the wild beasts, for they are my way to God.  I am God's wheat and shall be ground by their teeth so that I may become Christ's pure bread... Let me attain pure light.  Only on my arrival there can I be fully a human being... My love of this life has been crucified."
