We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.

We can worship Christ in our sanctuaries and we can pray to God on our knees, but how we treat - or neglect - the person next door, the poor, every human being, this is how we truly speak to Christ and this is how we really treat Jesus.

If the Church is a body, and the body is a business, isn't that the same thing as prostitution?

God gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives.

Until we call attention to the moments of our lives, we miss our lives.

No one told me that it would all happen at the same hallowed time: Mothering is at once the hardest and the holiest and the happiest.

In a world addicted to speed, I blur the moments into one unholy smear.
