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.
Abraham Joshua HeschelTo sing means to sense and to affirm that the spirit is real and that its glory is present.
Abraham Joshua HeschelWhen religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.
