"We cannot attain the presence of God. We're already totally in the presence of God. What's absent is awareness,"

-Richard Rohr

Quote of the week

"May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection,
starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done."

 

-Franciscan Benediction

Quote of the Week

I'm a huge fan of quotes, they seem to capture in a few words what usually takes pages to communicate.  I will be posting a quote per week for you to wrestle with, and my hope is that these inspire, motivate, challenge, and encourage each of you in your pursuit to full devotion.  If you have some fav's send them on over, I'd love to hear quotes that have impacted you!

So.....

Here it is.....Week 1

“God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event”
