“What we would like to do is change the world...by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world.”
― Dorothy Day

“I think suffering itself is the product of a not-right world. It’s not from God, but He does intervene in it because He loves us and doesn’t want us to be alone in the dark. Somehow, He keeps reaching into our not-right world to pull out something deeply right, which makes me wonder if all this suffering might just be a step toward the deepest kind of wholeness.”

“Real, biblical, self-sacrificing, God-honoring love never compromises what God says is right and true. Truth and love are inextricably bound together. Love that compromises truth simply isn’t love. Truth without love ceases to be truth because it gets bent and twisted by other human agendas.”
― Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional

“The only trouble is that in the spiritual life there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Those who imagine that they can discover spiritual gimmicks and put them to work for themselves usually ignore God's will and his grace.”
― Thomas Merton, Contemplative Prayer
