Quote for the Week
From the Interfaith
Council of
Lord God,
I know that my life has consequences,
that the things I say and do and think have
consequences,
that my actual sins have consequences,
even those things I wrongly suppose to be sin
have consequences.
And yet somehow I
also know
that your love is unconditional,
and that only such love can empower us
to live together without violence.
When we know that God loves us deeply
and will always go on loving us,
whoever we are and whatever we have done,
it becomes possible
to expect no more of our fellow men and women
than they are able to give,
to forgive them generously
when they have offended us,
and to respond to their hostility with love.
By doing so we make visible a new way
of being human
and and a new way of responding to
our worlds problems.
