Theological quote of the day

when god laughs

god laughs when he sees two brothers divide up the land with a piece of string saying, "this side belongs to you and that side belongs to me."
god laughs and says, "the universe belongs to me and here they think this portion is one's and that portion is the other's."

from parables of ramakrishna

in friendship,
prad

"Charity may be a very short word, but with its tremendous meaning of pure love, it sums up man's entire relation to God and to his neighbor."

St Aelred of Rievaulx

"It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared for, on this dark, cooling star: but even so- and all the more- what marvelous creatures we are!" Clarence Day

Its easier to preach 10 sermons than to actually live by one.
