Wisdom and Rooms

Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
be wise enough to desist.
- Proverbs 23:4

“Carve your name on hearts, not on marble”—Charles Spurgeon

I think that I have never lost the intuition

that community life could be a sign

that God is love, and love alone.
- Brother Roger, Swiss theologian and

founder of Taizé, an ecumenical monastic community in France

The God of life summons us to life; more, to be lifegivers,
especially toward those who lie under the heel of the powers.
