Expressing myself in language is definitely not a strong point for me. But I really like to reflect on quotes that I gather. I’m going to share some of my favorites with you.
“The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ! If Christ had done what you are doing who would ever have been spared.”
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
“Do not despise your place, your gifts, or your voice for you cannot have another’s, and it would not fulfill you if you could”
Rats and roaches live by competition under the law of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.
-Wendell Berry
For Ordering a Life Wisely
Prayer of St. Thomas
O merciful God grant that I may desire ardently, search prudently, recognize truly, and bring to perfect completion whatever is pleasing to You for the praise and glory of Your name.
Put my life in good order, O my God.
Grant that I may know what You require me to do.
Bestow upon me the power to accomplish Your will, as is necessary and fitting for the salvation of my soul.
