There is a lot here, I offer them up without comment...what do you think?
"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are."
~St. Augustine
"Let the beauty we love be what we do."
~Rumi
"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."
"I love the rain, it washes the memories off the sidewalks of life."
~Woody Allen
"Begin to see your self as gift, love it as gift, from God's hand, and learn how the neighbor too is a gift,
to himself or herself, and to you."
~Rowan Williams, (Resurrection, p. 38)
A church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed - what gospel is that? Very nice, pious considerations that don’t bother anyone, that’s the way many would like preaching to be. Those preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed, so as not to have conflicts and difficulties, do not light up the world they live in.
~Oscar Romero, The Violence of Love
