Pro-life!
“No country on earth, no political system can think of its own future otherwise than through the image of these new generations that will receive from their parents the manifold heritage of values, duties and aspirations of the nation to which they belong and of the whole human family. Concern for the child, even before birth, from the first moment of conception and then throughout the years of infancy and youth, is the primary and fundamental test of the relationship of one human being to another.” (St. John Paul II, Address to the General Assembly of the United Nations Oct. 2, 1979)
Pro-life!
Stronger in the broken places
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” Ernest Hemingway
Taking some hits?
Finding balance
“There is an Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms: a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person.” Rumer Godden
Finding balance
Understanding
“Understanding” others
“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” —George Orwell
Working hard for holiness?
“I have never understood why ‘hard work’ is supposed to be pitiable. True, some work is soul destroying when it is done against the grain, but when it is part of “making” how can you grudge it? You get tired, of course, but the struggle, the challenge, the feeling of being extended as you never thought you could be is fulfilling and deeply, deeply satisfying.” Rumer Godden
