It was too horrible a confusion of guilt, too gross a complication of evil, for human nature, not in a state of utter barbarism, to be capable of! - Mansfield Park, Volume III Chapter X

Have mercy oh gracious Father! upon all that are now suffering from whatever cause, that are in any circumstance of danger or distress. Give them patience under every affliction, strengthen, comfort and relieve them. - From a prayer written by Jane Austen
