Quotes
Text from Des Knaben Wunderhorn
Three angels sang a sweet song,with blessed joy it rang in heaven.They shouted too for joythat Peter was free from sin!<p>And as Lord Jesus sat at the tablewith his twelve disciples and ate the evening meal,Lord Jesus said "Why do you stand here?When I look at you, you are weeping!"<p>"And should I not weep, kind God?I have violated the ten commandments!I wander and weep bitterly!O come and take pity on me!"<p>"If you have violated the ten commandments,then fall on your knees and pray to God!Love only God for all time!So will you gain heavenly joy."<p>The heavenly joy is a blessed city,the heavenly joy that has no end!The heavenly joy was granted to Peterthrough Jesus, and to all mankind for eternal bliss.
