Pentecost Sunday

The issue is now quite clear. It is between light and darkness and every one must choose his side.

--Gilbert Keith Chesterton 

Forever

Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.

--Oscar Wilde

The Glory of Friendship

 

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with friendship.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Eternal Present

To share in the life of God is . . . to have, under all the pain that time inflicts, a deep sense of the abidingness of things, because it is to live, with God, in the eternal present.  

--Reverend Gerald Vann in The Divine Pity

Thoughts and Prayers

There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.

--Victor Hugo

Patches of Time

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away.

--Charles Caleb Colton

In Silence

God cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

--Mother Teresa
