The Last Sin Eater Quotes

“It was no accident, no coincidence, that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It was like a best-loved story being told day after day with each sunrise and sunset, year after year with the seasons, down through the ages since time began.”

“During the ice storms and long bleak nights of winter, she’d tell me the mountains were like sleeping giants that’d come awake again soon. “God’ll see to it.” And God did.
