Reflections for Lent

As we open ourselves to spiritual growth, there is simply no part of our life that can be left out. Nothing is too dirty or smudged. Nothing is too ecstatic or passionate. Nothing is too mundane or ordinary. All of life is the food of our spiritual growth. We can grow closer and deeper in our relationship with God through every situation, depending on our attitude, our openness, and our awareness. Be aware of God teaching you through your life today.

                          The Cup of Our Life   Joyce Rupp

When a symbol or spiritual idea becomes rigidly elaborate in its construction, 
it supplants the idea which it should support.

                                                  Rabindranath Tagore

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible,
but they have never found these dangers enough reason for remaining ashore.  


                                           Vincent Van Gogh

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.


                                           Maya Angelou
