Reflection 5.17.13

immanuelpres — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:56:20 +0000

I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. It is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. Light, be it particle or wave, has force: you rig a giant sail and go. The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.

~Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Reflection 5.15.13

What we do is very little. But it is like the little boy with a few loaves and fishes. Christ took that little and increased it. He will do the rest. What we do is so little that we may seem to be constantly failing. But so did he fail. He met with apparent failure on the Cross. But unless the seeds fall into the earth and die, there is no harvest.

~Dorothy Day

Reflection 5.14.13

I do not tire of telling everyone, especially young people who long for their people’s liberation, that I admire their social and political sensitivity, but it saddens me when they waste it by going on ways that are false. Let us, too, all take notice that the great leader of our liberation is the Lord’s Anointed One, who comes to announce good news to the poor, to give freedom to the captives, to give news of the missing, to give joy to so many homes in mourning, so that society may be renewed as in the sabbatical years of Israel.

~Archbishop Oscar Romero

Reflection 5.13.13

Our faithfulness will depend on our willingness to go where there is brokenness, loneliness, and human need. If the church has a future it is a future with the poor in whatever form.

~Henri J.M. Nouwen

Reflection 5.11.13

immanuelpres — Sat, 11 May 2013 19:02:00 +0000

I often wondered why, through the great prescient wisdom of God, the beginning of sin was not prevented. For then it seemed to me that would have been well. … But Jesus answered me with these words and said: Sin is necessary, but all will be well, and all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well.

~Julian of Norwich

Reflection 5.9.13

immanuelpres — Fri, 10 May 2013 04:25:59 +0000

Day after day, O Lord of my life,
shall I stand before thee face to face?
With folded hands, O Lord of all worlds,
shall I stand before thee face to face?
under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart
shall I stand before thee face to face?
In this laborious world of thine,
tumultuous with toil and struggle,
among hurrying crowds
shall I stand before thee face to face?

And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face?

~Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali
