…There is a level at which the child’s hymn ‘I am a child of God’ harmonizes with the music of eternity. We are children of God.

…Do not expect the world’s solutions to the world’s problems to be very effective. Such solutions often resemble… those who go dashing back and forth with fire extinguishers in times of flood. Only the Gospel is constantly relevant, and the substitute things won’t work.

God, the playwright says, is concerned that man should learn wisdom, and has marked out the path; and it is a path of suffering. Men are in one sense free to learn or not to learn; but the painful condition of learning is inexorable. The nature of God, in other words, comprises two elements or principles, one harsh, the other gentle.

I wasn’t raised very religiously because my parents went to Catholic school, but I do believe in God very much. I just never gave God a name, if you know what I mean. I hope I haven’t let Him down regardless.

“The Prophet never asserted that he was the last of all prophets nor did he claim to have said all there was to say. Submission to God’s will is not to be a robot, incapable of choice and thus of sin. Submission can include – does include – utter responsibility for the fashion in which I, and each of us, shape the universe. It is ours to turn into a heavenly garden… or to rend and destroy.”

That is the gods’ work, spinning threads of death
through the lives of mortal men,

“Ah, how shameless—the way these mortals blame the gods.
From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes,
But they themselves, with their own reckless ways,
Compound their pains beyond their proper share.” ZeusSpeaker: HomerPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 10:32 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
And that was the elated moment I’d called glorious, in my mind, as I ran into the guns: that stupid waste of lives, that friendly fire. There wasn’t any glory in it. There never is. There’s only courage and fear and love. And war kills them all, one by one. Glory belongs to God, of course; that’s what the word really means. And you can’t serve God with a gun.

They’d lied to me and betrayed me, leaving jagged edges where all my trust had been, and I didn’t like or respect or admire them any more, but still I loved them. I had no choice. I understood that, perfectly, standing in the white wilderness of snow. You can’t kill love. You can’t even kill it with hate. You can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. You can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can’t kill love itself. Love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. Every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it’s a part of God, or what we call God, and it can never die.
