Ultimately There Is No Power To Narcissistic,

Acceptance Is Appreciation, And The High Value Of Appreciation Is Such That To Appreciate Appreciation Seems To Be The Fundamental Prerequisite For Survival. Mankind Will Not Die For Lack Of Information; It May Perish For Lack Of Appreciation.

People Of Our Time Are Losing The Power Of Celebration. Instead Of Celebrating We Seek To Be Amused Or Entertained. Celebration Is An Active State, An Act Of Expressing Reverence Or Appreciation. To Be Entertained Is A Passive State--it Is To Receive Pleasure Afforded By An Amusing Act Or A Spectacle.... Celebration Is A Confrontation, Giving Attention To The Transcendent Meaning Of One's Actions. Source: The Wisdom Of Heschel

Prayer Is Meaningless Unless It Is Subversive, Unless It Seeks To Overthrow And To Ruin The Pyramids Of Callousness, Hatred, Opportunism, Falsehoods. The Liturgical Movement Must Become A Revolutionary Movement Seeking To Overthrow The Forces That Continue To Destroy The Promise, The Hope, The Vision.

We Do Not Step Out Of The World When We Pray; We Merely See The World In A Different Setting. The Self Is Not The Hub But The Spoke Of The Revolving Wheel. It Is Precisely The Function Of Prayer To Shift The Center Of Living From Self-consciousness To Self-surrender.

Only Those Will Apprehend Religion Who Can Probe Its Depth, Who Can Combine Intuition And Love With The Rigor Of Method
