love from micah 6

Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh, be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

One of the real problems in modern life is that people who are good at being civil lack strong convictions and people who have strong convictions lack civility.

Anthony of Padua opened every class he taught with the phrase, “Of what value is learning that does not turn to love?”

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anaemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice.
