Hope

"Hope is an orientation of the spirit and the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons. . .
It is an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. . .
Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."
the late Vaclav Havel, former president of the Czech Republic

Contemplative Discipline

"For radical Christians, contemplative discipline is learning to see Jesus with the eyes of the heart in ways of worship and prayer that expose us to irradiation by His way of self-giving . . .We take the risk of being impregnated with a new self, Jesus' new self. This core identity in Christ imparts new instincts that enable us to decipher God's secret solidarity with the poor, excluded, and disepowered." (from an Episcopalian priest in DC)
