To Pray Is To Dream In League

The Anchor Of Meaning Resides In An Abyss, Deeper Than The Reach Of Despair. Yet The Abyss Is Not Not Infinite; Its Bottom May Suddenly Be Discovered Within The Confines Of A Human Heart Or Under The Debris Of Might Doubts. This May Be The Vocation Of Man: To Say "amen" To Being And To The Author Of Being; To Live In Defiance Of Absurdity, Notwithstanding Futility And Defeat; To Attain Faith In God Even In Spite Of God.

It Is Dangerous To Take Human Freedom For Granted, To Regard It As A Prerogative Rather Than As An Obligation, As An Ultimate Fact Rather Than As An Ultimate Goal. It Is The Beginning Of Wisdom To Be Amazed At The Fact Of Our Being Free.

Awareness Of The Divine Begins With Wonder.

We Worry A Great Deal About The Problem Of Church And State. Now What About The Church And God? Sometimes There Seems To Be A Greater Separation Between The Church And God Than Between The Church And State.

One Of The Major Symptoms Of The General Crisis Existent In Our World Today Is Our Lack Of Sensitivity To Words. We Use Words As Tools. We Forget That Words Are A Repository Of The Spirit. The Tragedy Of Our Times Is That The Vessels Of The Spirit Are Broken. We Cannot Approach The Spirit Unless We Repair The Vessels. Reverence For Words - An Awareness Of The Wonder Of Words, Of The Mystery Of Words - Is An Essential Prerequisite For Prayer. By The Word Of God The World Was Created.
