Living Deeply

I Pray for A "Bigger" Vision of God in 2010 (Quote from C.S. Lewis - Prince Caspian)

  

"Aslan," said Lucy, "you're bigger."
     "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.
     "Not because you are?"
     "I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger."

Jesus and Justice (John Perkins)

You cannot have Jesus without doing justice.  Jesus and the work of justice are inextricably linked.

Simple Power, Simple Truth (Peter Gomes)

I met Mother Teresa some years ago when she came to Harvard to speak at Class Day, that great gathering of seniors on the day before Commencement, and then on the next day to receive an honorary degree. I was asked if Mother Teresa and her entourage, which consisted of one nun, could use my office as a place to rest for a few minutes before her speech. I was delighted to offer her my room, and she was duly brought in and I was presented to her. I tried to make small talk, but saints, I discovered, are not very good at small talk. I told her that I and millions of others thought that she was doing a great work in Calcutta. She fiddled with her beads and said, "It is Jesus." I made several other feints at chatter, but she was obviously on a different plane, and so I chose the wisest course of all, that of silence.

Becoming a Christian (Jean Vanier)

The whole of the mystery of Christ is to change us so that we become the face of Jesus, we become the hands of Jesus, that we become the heart of Jesus, that our body becomes the body of Christ, that our words become the words of Christ.
