Lent - Day 4

"Above all, trust in the slow work of God...

It is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through stages of instability...

...and that it may take a very long time."

                                                                                    --Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Lent - Day 3

 "...we are called to depart, to trust the new life, and to find space and energy for a life of full shalom, to live apart from the system of pharaoh. This story has many futures..." (Exodus 8:16-18)

                                             --Walter Brueggemann (A Way Not Our Own)

Lent - Day 2

"The crescendo of the New Testament is the statement in 1st John that GOD IS LOVE.

...the mystery of God is the excess of divine love, so you need not fear what you don't know and understand..."

                                                                        --Eberhard Jungel

Lent - Day 1

"We are being chased by God's powerful love... 

Lent is a time to quit running, to let ourselves be caught and embraced in love, like a sheep with safe pasture...

(Our life) is to be an embrace but that entails being caught by God."

---Walter Brueggemann in A Way Other Than Our Own
