I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right. In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out. - Anne Frank + Sign up to receive our quote of the day via e-mail

Love the poor and love poverty, for it is by such love that we become truly poor. As the Scripture says, we become like the things we love. If you love the poor you will share their poverty and be poor like them. If you love the poor be often with them. Be glad to see them in your own home and to visit with them in theirs. Be glad to talk to them and be pleased to have them near you in church, on the street, and elsewhere. Be poor in conversing with them and speak to them as their companions do, but be rich in assisting them by sharing some of your more abundant goods with them. - Francis de Sales + Sign up to receive our quote of the day via e-mail

Elohim, you are not the God of only one nation. Forgive us when we claim to have a monopoly on your love and forget that you are Lord of all people. You know every woman, man and child by name. You love all people fiercely and eternally. We pray your blessing on all of your creation across the world. Amen.

Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe.  - Arundhati Roy + Sign up to receive our quote of the day via e-mail

Avoid those foolish arguments that lead nowhere, because you know that they only cause contention. A servant of our Lord should not be contentious, but rather be humble towards all people, able to teach and be patient.
