I am convinced that what has the greatest meaning for us is what we uncover for ourselves.
Elizabeth O'ConnorCreativity is not the work of a few. We each carry within us the image of God the Creator; we each have the task of making the earth into a fairer, kinder place. The first step is imagining a better world, and that is most apt to happen when we suffer or look on suffering.

The life that is not able to express the love which is so integral to it grows deformed.
