“If you accept the belief that baptism incorporates us in the mystical body of Christ, into the divine DNA, then you might say that the Holy Spirit is present in each of us, and thus we have the capacity for the fullness of redemption, of transformation.
—Thomas Keating
“I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it.”
— Thomas Aquinas
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“We are all sinners, but God heals us with an abundance of grace, mercy and tenderness.”
——Pope Francis
