Faith Opens Our Hearts For The Entrance

Those Of Faith Who Plant Sacred Thoughts In The Uplands Of Time, The Secret Gardeners Of The Lord In Mankind's Desolate Hopes, May Slacken And Tarry But Rarely Betray Their Vocation.

Sometimes We Wish The World Could Cry And Tell Us About That Which Made It Pregnant With Fear-filling Grandeur. Sometimes We Wish Our Own Heart Would Speak Of That Which Made It Heavy With Wonder.

Self-sufficiency, Independence, The Capacity To Stand Apart, To Differ, To Resist, And To Defy-all Are Modes Of Being Human.

I Would Say About Individuals, A Individual Dies When They Cease To To Be Surprised. I Am Surprised Every Morning When I See The Sunshine Again. When I See An Act Of Evil I Don't Accomodate, I Don't Accomodate Myself To The Violence That Goes On Everywhere. I Am Still So Surprised! That Is Why I Am Against It. We Must Learn To Be Surprised.

When Faith Is Completely Replaced By Creed, Worship By Discipline, Love By Habit; When The Crisis Of Today Is Ignored Because Of The Splendors Of The Past; When Faith Becomes An Heirloom Rather Than A Living Fountain; When Religion Speaks Only In The Name Of Authority Rather Than With The Voice Of Compassion, Its Message Becomes Meaningless.
