Our Hearts Of Stone Become Hearts Of

If We Maintain The Open-mindedness Of Children, We Challenge Fixed Ideas And Established Structures, Including Our Own. We Listen To People In Other Denominations And Religions. We Don't Find Demons In Those With Whom We Disagree. We Don't Cozy Up To People Who Mouth Our Jargon. If We Are Open, We Rarely Resort To Either-or: Either Creation Or Evolution, Liberty Or Law, Sacred Or Secular, Beethoven Or Madonna. We Focus On Both-and, Fully Aware That God's Truth Cannot Be Imprisoned In A Small Definition.

In Essence, There Is Only One Thing God Asks Of Us - That We Be Men And Women Of Prayer, People For Whom God Is Everything And For Whom God Is Enough. That Is The Root Of Peace. We Have That Peace When The Gracious God Is All We Seek. When We Start Seeking Something Besides Him, We Lose It.

Though It Is True That The Church Must Always Dissociate Itself From Sin, It Can Never Have Any Excuse For Keeping Any Sinner At A Distance.

Assured Of Your Salvation By The Unique Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ" Is The Heartbeat Of The Gospel, Joyful Liberation From Fear Of The Final Outcome, A Summons To Self-acceptance, And Freedom For A Life Of Compassion Toward Others.

The Secret Of The Mystery Is: God Is Always Greater. No Matter How Great We Think Him To Be, His Love Is Always Greater.
