“It doesn't promise to solve or erase suffering but to transform it, pledging that by loving one another, even through pain, we will find more life. And it insists that by opening ourselves to strangers, the despised or frightening or unintelligible other, we will see more and more of the holy, since, without exception, all people are one body: God's.” ― Sara Miles, Take This Bread : A Radical Conversion

“If God is worth our bother and if the life of our brother Jesus means anything worth our knowing, it is that the body is godly, the body is holy, without qualifications. Our hands are God’s hands in the world. Our hearts are God’s heart in the world. God pulsating. God beating. God yearning and open and growing in history. Our suffering and our tears are God’s pain and trauma in history. Our laughter and our pleasure are God’s own joy in history.” –Carter Heyward, Our Passion for Justice, p. 140 Scripture Readings: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 Carter Heyward, Our Passion for Justice “Prayer and love are learned in the hour when prayer has become impossible and your heart has turned to stone.” - Thomas Merton
