 Him, thou  Peter,  though  thou  hast  denied  Him thrice, turn  to  Him  weeping  bitterly. Turn to  Him, thou Magdalen,  and  learn  to  love  Him  much  and much will  be  forgiven. Arise, thou  prodigal! no more of  husks  or  swinish  company,  but  arise  and  return to  your  Father. Doubt you  how  He  will  receive you? Ah! see His  arms  stretched  out  ready  to embrace  you;  behold  His  bosom  whereon  to  lay  your weary head  with  tears  of  joy  and  thankfulness;  hear His angels  rejoicing  because  you  who  were  lost  are found, you  who  were  dead  are  come  to  life  again. " Come  to  Me,"  He  says,  "  come  to  Me  all  ye  that labor  with  temptation  and  I  will  fortify  you  with  sin-resisting  grace;  come  to  Me  all  ye  that  are  heavy-laden  with  sin  and  I  will  refresh  you  with  forgiveness; come  to  Me  and  you  shall  find  peace  for  your  souls."
