Welcome to Litsy!

Our greatest danger is not our sins but our indifference.

This morning, the only gleam of consolation I had was that when God sends all these troubles and sufferings to the families, he is sending just what they need, to prune them down, so that they bear fruit. If I didn't believe that, I'd be unhappy indeed. How he must love you to be so intent on sending what you need, spiritually. If all were going well and smoothly, it would be really dangerous.

Faith, more precious than gold, is a gift. We cannot give it to each other, but certainly we can pray God to give it to others. Péguy wrote: "When we get to heaven, God is going to say to us, 'Where are the others?'"

I still long to be like Dorothy Day, but not in the ways I used to. I don't want to be radical anymore; instead I long to be sustainable, to remain steadfast. I want to walk faithfully in the direction of my Lord, and I don't want to stop until my very last breath. As Dorothy writes, 'Our arms are linked -- we try to be neighbors of his, and to speak up for his principles. That's a lifetime's job.'

This is a great and inspiring little treasury of quotes from various sources organized by theme. It‘s the kind of thing I wish I had a few copies of to be able to give them away to people.
