Sunday Inspiration: A Confession of Character
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sunday Inspiration: The Wheels of Injustice
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sunday Inspiration: Mistakes
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
—Eleanor Roosevelt
Sunday Inspiration: To Live
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.
—Oscar Wilde
Sunday Inspiration: Appreciation
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing—that when we look for what’s best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something sacred.
—Fred Rogers
Sunday Inspiration: Grief
I have decided that the only way to live is to embrace grief. For grief only exists where love lived first.
—Franchesca Cox
Sunday Inspiration: Justice Is Not Enough
Peace is a product of justice, but justice is not enough. Love is necessary. The love that makes us feel that we are family is properly what makes true peace.
—Saint Óscar Romero
Sunday Inspiration: Worthy
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.
—Thomas Merton
Sunday Inspiration: Wonder and Silence
It seems to me that some of us value information over wonder, and noise over silence. And I feel that we need a lot more wonder and a lot more silence in our lives.
—Fred Rogers
Sunday Inspiration: Speaking of Peace
Before you speak of peace, you must first have it in your heart.
—Saint Francis of Assisi
