God is everywhere: yes, but how dim faith is, what a remote idea heaven is, in the modern world!
Caryll HouselanderThe Passion of Christ was an experience which included in itself every experience except sin, of every member of the human race. If one may say this with reverence, the fourteen incidents of the Stations of the Cross show not only the suffering but the Psychology of Christ. Above all, they show, in detail, his way of transforming suffering by love. He shows us, step by step, how that plan of love can be carried out by men, women, and children today, both alone in the loneliness of their individual lives and together in communion with one another.
Caryll HouselanderAdvent is the season of the secret, the secret of the growth of Christ, of divine love growing in silenceโฆFor nine months, Christ grew in his mother's body. By his own will, she formed him from herself, from the simplicity of her daily life.
Caryll HouselanderWe must carry Jesus in our hearts to wherever He wants to go, and there are many places to which He may never go unless we take Him to them. None of us knows when the loveliest hour of our life is striking. It may be when we take Christ for the first time to that grey office in the city where we work, to the wretched lodging of that poor man who is an outcast, to the nursery of that pampered child, to that battleship, airfield, or camp
