“Beloved, let us live so well our work shall still be better for our love, and still our love be sweeter for our work.”

“For all those whose careshave been our concern,the work goes on,the cause endures,the hope still lives,and the dream shall never die.”

“Dear Lord...patch this work. Quilt us together, feather-stitching piece by piece our tag-ends of living, our individual scraps of love”

“Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.”

“The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.”

“To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections that requires hard spiritual work. Still, we are only grateful people when we can say thank you to all that has brought us to the present moment. As long as we keep dividing our lives between events and people we would like to remember and those we would rather forget, we cannot claim the fullness of our beings as a gift of God to be grateful for. Let's not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God.”
