Mr. and Mrs. Chirp are very very busy these Spring mornings. It takes most of their time to keep their children well supplied with worms and other dainty morsels on which fledglings thrive.
And they must be careful to return shortly lest some enemy disturb the nest. Too often Mr. and Mrs. Chirp have had to defend their children from danger. But always they have fought with all their might, and through their love have saved the babies from calamity.
And so it is that every living thing dwells in danger. Man especially must guard against evils; for in him they threaten body, mind, and soul. He, like the fledglings, must depend on some power greater and stronger than himself--a guardian of love.
"GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." To Him we must look for love and protection. To His Church we must come for salvation.
