What to Focus On

  • He lived from 1593 to 1633.
  • He was a priest.
  • God blesses Man with many gifts.
  • Rest is deliberately withheld.
  • Restlessness keeps Man from becoming too satisfied with worldly gifts.
  • God’s glass of blessings is a symbol of divine gifts.
  • The blessings are given in a deliberate order.
  • God pauses when only Rest is left.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
