Jesus didn't come to change God's mind about you, but to change your mind about God - Richard Rohr

Compassion constitutes a radical form of criticism, for it announces that the hurt is to be taken seriously, that the hurt is not to be accepted as normal and natural but is an abnormal and unacceptable condition for humanness. - Walter Brueggemann

the new humanity that is created around Jesus is not a humanity that is always going to be successful and in control of things, but a humanity that can reach out its hand from the depths of chaos, to be touched by the hand of God. - Rowan Williams

We writers are the raw nerve of the universe. Our job is to go out and feel things for people, then to come back and tell them how it feels to be alive. - Le Guin

When we who follow Jesus fight for political power and seek to exercise dominance over other people, we have abandoned the light of Christ and returned to the darkness of idolatryβ€”for instead of worshiping Christ, we are worshiping power. (Second Sunday of Christmas sermon: The Light of Revelation)

A good theologian must have a good imagination. This is why I don’t trust theologians who don’t read fiction.

A prayer for real life in this wretched world, moment by moment: β€œYour kingdom come, Your will be done” (Matthew 6:10). That simple prayer lifts a mighty protest to God’s Throne above, and it brings down a cheerful defiance to our hearts here below. No one β€” left or right β€” owns our future.

To know God is to live. - Leo Tolstoy

Prayer is a small fire lit to keep cold hands warm. Prayer is a practice that flourishes both with faith and doubt. Prayer is asking, and prayer is sitting. Prayer is the breath. Prayer is not an answer, always, because not all questions can be answered. - PΓ‘draig Γ“ Tuama

The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now. The most necessary work is always love. - Meister Eckhart

One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it. - Dallas Willard
