Who is my neighbor?

If you spend any serious amount of time with Scripture, you can’t help but take to heart that there are some absolutes when it comes to our call and responsibility as Christians. While there are many things that are not specifically addressed by Scripture, there are others that are undeniable and irrefutable: loving our neighbor, welcoming the “stranger” and caring for the poor. No matter how you

I loved Count the Ways SO very much. When I heard there was going to be a sequel I anxiously awaited its arrival. In between I read Bird Hotel, also by Maynard, and followed her travels on social. I am a fan. So it pains me to say that I really didn' ...more

Quotes by Mary DeTurris Poust  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“So often, even when we stop to say a blessing before a meal, we’re mentally preparing to spoon some pasta or potatoes onto our plates. We’re not usually focused on the present moment, simply placing ourselves before our food and entering into the still, slow space where eating is done for eating’s sake and not something we do simply to get to the next thing on our list.”
Mary DeTurris Poust, Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God

“We’re hungry for acceptance—from ourselves even more than from others—for love, for fulfillment, for peace. We’re hungry for a life we think we don’t deserve or can’t have, for the person we know we can be if only we’d give ourselves the chance.”
Mary DeTurris Poust, Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God

“By becoming aware of God’s Spirit, by slowing down and paying attention to the tastes and sounds and smells of the food we make and eat, we infuse our meals—and by extension our hearts—with a sense of awe, a depth of prayer that cannot help but transform our mindless eating into moving meditations.”
