Ash Wednesday – A Time to Forgive
“In our society, forgiveness is often seen as weakness. People who forgive those who have hurt them or their family are made to look as if they really don’t care about their loved ones. But forgiveness is tremendous strength. It is the action of someone who refuses to be consumed by hatred and revenge.”
- Sister Helen Prejean

How Would We See God?
“Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow and to love him as they love their cow–they love their cow for the milk and cheese and profit it makes them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God when they love him for their own advantage. Indeed, I tell you the truth, any object you have on your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost truth.”
– Meister Eckhart, Meister Eckhart, A Modern Translation by Raymond Bernard Blakney

wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice”
