“We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.”

“As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.”

“We wear the mask that grins and lies,It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—This debt we pay to human guile;With torn and bleeding hearts we smile”

“This, this indeed is to be accursed, For if we mortals love, or if we sing, We count our joys not by what we have, But by what kept us from that perfect thing.”

“We are the hero of our own story.”

“How many things are we upon the brink of discovering if cowardice or carelessness did not restrain our inquiries”

“Just as the Eucharist fuels our soul and our spirit, good healthful meals fuel our bodies for the work God calls each of us to do in his kingdom. Praying before we consume a meal or when we are feeling exhausted and stressed helps to bring this “body and soul” connection into the light”
