"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
“Crises need to be faced together. This is hard, since persons sometimes withdraw in order to avoid saying what they feel; they retreat into a craven silence. At these times, it becomes all the more important to create opportunities for speaking heart to heart.”
Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia (#234)
This made me smile. I’ve been a fan of Sister Vassa for long time…
“Ah! If only your heart could become a manger, then God would ponce again become a child on this earth”
– Angelus Silesius (via Pope Francis via Fr. Godric via Fr. Boniface)
You might have heard recently of how Pope Francis was moved by a rendition of the “Our Father” in Aramaic, the native tongue of Jesus, while the Pontiff was visiting Georgia. Well, here it is:
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
I know I said I wasn’t going to be blogging, but here are some memes I created to mark the beginning of the Year of Mercy. I hope you like The Karate Kid…
