More From Livy

To know the cross is not merely to know our own sufferings. for the cross is the sign of salvation, and no man is saved by his own sufferings. to know the cross is to know that we are saved by the sufferings of christ; more, it is to know the love of christ who underwent suffering and death in order to save us. it is, then, to know christ.

I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

Observe how many people evade, rationalize and drive their minds into a state of blind stupor, in dread of discovering that those they deal with- their "loved ones" or friends or business associates or political rulers- are not merely mistaken, but evil. observe that this dread leads them to sanction, to help and to spread the very evil whose existence they fear to acknowledge.

It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. it would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. but reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality, or it would not be reasonable.

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.

A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay. it is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.
