For Me Christ Was Not To Be

True Love Is Delicate And Kind, Full Of Gentle Perception And Understanding, Full Of Beauty And Grace, Full Of Joy Unutterable. There Should Be Some Flavor Of This In All Our Love For Others. We Are All One. We Are One Flesh In The Mystical Body As Man And Woman Are Said To Be One Flesh In Marriage. With Such A Love One Would See All Things New; We Would Begin To See People As They Really Are, As God Sees Them.

When It Comes Down To It, Even On The Natural Plane, It Is Much Happier And More Enlivening To Love Than To Be Loved.

I Believe That We Must Reach Our Brother, Never Toning Down Our Fundamental Oppositions, But Meeting Him When He Asks To Be Met, With A Reason For The Faith That Is In Us, As Well As With A Loving Sympathy For Them As Brothers.

It Is Easier To Have Faith That God Will Support Each House Of Hospitality And Farming Commune And Supply Our Needs In The Way Of Food And Money To Pay Bills, Than It Is To Keep A Strong, Hearty, Living Faith In Each Individual Around Us - To See Christ In Him.

The Mystery Of Poverty Is That By Sharing In It, Making Ourselves Poor In Giving To Others, We Increase Our Knowledge Of And Belief In Love.
