Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
Experiencing the Present
Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow; you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall.
- Annie Dillard
Another World
Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
- Arundhati Roy
Planetary Peace
“If planetary peace seems beyond our reach, recall: Miracles are natural when we rely on the Source of All to carry our burdens with us. Then, even peace is possible.”
- Nan Merrill with Barbara Taylor, Peace Planet: Light for Our World
The Times Are Urgent
The times are urgent; let us slow down.
- African Saying
Be a Lamp
Be a lamp or a lifeboat or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
- Rumi
Finding Awe
We can find awe, then, in eight wonders of life: moral beauty, collective effervescence, nature, music, visual design, spirituality and religion, life and death, and epiphany.
- Dacher Keltner
Look Deeply
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
- Albert Einstein
Peace Is Generous
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
- Oscar Romero
Don’t Plan
Don’t plan it all. Let life surprise you a little.
- Julia Alvarez
Windows or Walls
Words are windows, or they’re walls. They sentence us or set us free. When I speak and when I hear, Let the love light shine through me.
- Ruth Bebermeyer
