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

Sunday Inspiration: Empathy

Whenever I see someone with an abundance of empathy I want to ask what heartbreak they have endured, for compassion is often birthed in the valley of despair.
—Zoe Clark-Coates

Sunday Inspiration: On Purpose

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
—Dolly Parton

Sunday Inspiration: Character

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
