General

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it,

Trusting that You will make all things right,

If I surrender to Your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

~ Reinhold Niebuhr

Fire of the Spirit,

life of the lives of creatures,

Spiral of sanctity,

Bond of all natures,

glow of charity,

lights of clarity,

taste of sweetness to the fallen,

be with us and hear us.

~ Hildegarde of Bingen - 12 Century

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves ...

Don't search for the answers,

which could not be given to you now,

because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is, to live everything.

Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, someday far in the future,

you will gradually, without even noticing it,

live your way into the answer.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke
