Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
Incomprehensible Holy Mystery
God is always doing something more. Incomprehensible holy mystery is always giving more, revealing more, communicating more. The only limit to that giving has been creation’s capacity to receive.
Judy Cannato, Field of Compassion
Wednesday of Hope – Don’t Be Afraid
This is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid.
– Frederick Buechner
God in All Things
The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw–and knew I saw–all things in God and God in all things.
– Mechtild of Magdeburg
Wednesday of Hope – It Is Time for Healing
I know these are scary, uncertain, hurtful times, but I really wish people would stop talking about what a trash fire the world is. Our world is a wounded relative, not a hopeless ruin, and we’re called to help heal the injuries we’ve inflicted on our kin.
– Daniel Heath Justice, via Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
Everything Changes
Given enough time, nothing is more changeable than rock.
– Enos Mills
Wednesday of Hope – Finding Hope in the Stillness
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.
– Howard Thurman
Life Is a Garden
life is a garden, not a road
we enter and exit through the same gate
wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice– Bokonon
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving this day!
Wednesday of Hope – the Importance of Pausing
\Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it’s important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level.
– Shakti Gawain
The World Needs Appreciation
The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.
– Michael Josephson
