"Silence is the voice of complicity."
Fr. Roy Bourgeois
“Let those who have a voice, speak out for the voiceless.”
Óscar Romero

"There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death."
Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant."
Martin Luther King
"I hope that I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can."
Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

THE AFTERLIFE

“So, is there an afterlife, and if so, what will it be like? I don't have a clue. But I am confident that the one who has buoyed us up in life will also buoy us up through death. We die into God. What more that means, I do not know. But that is all I need to know.”
Marcus Borg - Speaking Christian: Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Meaning and Power

BLOGGERS' PRAYER

"Almighty God, you proclaim your truth in every age by many voices: Direct, in our time, we pray, those who speak where many listen and write what many read; that they may do their part in making the heart of this people wise, its mind sound, and its will righteous; to the honor of Jesus Christ our Lord."
Book of Common Prayer

GOD'S PRESENCE

"O my God, since Thou art with me, and I must now, in obedience to Thy commands, apply my mind to these outward things, I beseech Thee to grant me the grace to continue in Thy presence; and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my affections."
Brother Lawrence
