A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.
Frederick BuechnerYou do not need to understand healing to be healed or know anything about blessing to be blessed.
Frederick BuechnerAvarice, greed, concupiscence and so forth are all based on the mathematical truism that the more you get, the more you have. The remark of that it is more blessed to give than to receive is based on the human truth that the more you give away in love, the more you are. It is not just for the sake of other people that tells us to give rather than get, but for our own sakes too.
Frederick BuechnerRemember Jesus of Nazareth, staggering on broken feet out of the tomb toward the Resurrection, bearing on his body the proud insignia of the defeat which is victory, the magnificent defeat of the human soul at the hands of God.
