Thoughts To Consider


 

Let us learn to skillfully draw good out of
what would otherwise cause us harm.

St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier
Embrace the World

 

Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality
is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence.
But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness
that pervades all realms of our being.

Brother David Steindl-Rast

 

Each of us has a fire in our hearts for something.

It’s our goal in life to find it and keep it lit.

Mary Lou Retton

 

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

Philo of Alexandria

 

If you love truth, be a lover of silence.

Silence, like the sunlight will illuminate you in God.

St. Issac - 7th Century Hermit Monk

 

Today is only a small manageable segment of time
in which our difficulties need not overwhelm us.

This lifts from our hearts and minds
the heavy weight of both past and future.

Anonymous

 

I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou

 

Suffering is the sandpaper of our life.

It does its work of shaping us.

Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.

Ram Dass
