Friends

 

"When in doubt , tell the truth. 

It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."

Mark Twain 

Ash Wednesday

Pope Leo XIV on Lent,

"I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated  form of abstinence; that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgment, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities . In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace."  

Friday

 "Friday is the perfect moment to choose joy, share kindness, 

finish one important task, and 

stop into the weekend feeling light and capable." 

Quote from @Blurtitoutorg

If you want ...

"The great C.S. Lewis, in his classic Mere Christianity, wrote these words: If you want to get warm, you must get near the fire. If you want to get wet, you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to or even into the thing that has them ... If you want eternal life, that is the life most joyous being in the universe, get close to God, immerse yourself in the water of who God is, and you will grow in  joy."

Reading scriptures and belonging to a Bible study are great ways to get close to God.  

Words

 Last words of Johann Sebastian Bach;

"I played the notes as they were written, but is was God who made the music. 

Don't cry for me - I am going to 

where the music was born."

 "Darkness cannot drive our darkness, only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive our hate, only love can do that." 

Martin Luther King Jr.
