Fall Reflections
“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.”
Etty Hillesum (1914-1943)
“Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.”
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“May the God of harvest be with you. May this Gleaning God surface in you all that is holy and life giving. May your sense of compassion and justice spill over into your surroundings. May you yield a rich harvest of peace and hope and may it be reaped and gathered by a wanting world. May the God of harvest bless you.”
