The Robinsons, a senior couple in France, travel to Paris at the end of their mission. Elder Robinson is irritated with their guide and with his mission experience in general, but over the course of a train ride, he gradually realizes that he's been denying everyone else the grace he himself desperately needs.
. . . we are passengers on the train of the Church . . . the luxury of getting on and off the train as we please is fading. The speed of the train is increasing. The woods are getting much too dangerous, and the fog and darkness are moving in. – Glenn L. Pace
