Sunday Inspiration: Freedom
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
—Peter Marshall
Sunday Inspiration: True Peace
Peace is not the absence of war but the absence of fear.
—Ursula Franklin
Sunday Inspiration: Commitment
Commitment is doing what you said you would do, after the feeling you said it in has passed.
—Saint Camillus
Sunday Inspiration: Unforgettable
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
—Maya Angelou
Sunday Inspiration: I Don’t Want Peace
If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don’t want it. If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don’t want peace.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Sunday Inspiration: The Wrong Thing
Few people revel in doing the wrong thing. Most of us just convince ourselves it’s not all that wrong.
—Tim Fall
Sunday Inspiration: Mystery
It looks like I’m going to have to let go of what I expected and enter a mystery.
—Eugene Peterson
Sunday Inspiration: Living for Others
Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is…. Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.
—Pope Francis
Sunday Inspiration: The Ultimate Measure
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Sunday Inspiration: The Real Questions
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions.
—Henri Nouwen
