I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.

One by one, these disciples would infect the nations with grace. It wasn't a call to take the sword or the throne and force the world to bow. Rather, they were to live the contagious love of God, to woo the nations into a new future.

As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.

My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth.

Little movements of communities of ordinary radicals are committed to doing small things with great love.

The question becomes not just how to accumulate more, but how to covet less.

I think in the end, God's justice is redemptive, it's restorative, it's about giving life, not taking life.
