We become safe and secure. We are lifted high above all that would harm us and drag our hearts down into despair and hopelessness. If we find this sanctuary, then we find defense from all the accusations of the devil and of our own conscience that we have sinned and deserve to be condemned. We find refuge from sorrows. A sanctuary is a place of purity, peace, protection.
Men seek a sanctuary for their hearts and souls.
Foolishly they travel to huge cathedrals. Massive oak doors greet them. They go to a therapist. They go to a doctor. They enter the halls of universities.
