More From John Ruskin

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
Therefore bread was created for the glory of christ. hunger and thirst were created for the glory of christ. and fasting was created for the glory of christ. which means that bread magnifies christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for god himself. when we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the bread of life. and when we fast we say, “i love the reality above the emblem.” in the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. both magnify christ.

Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years. ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. but the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.

Farmers everywhere provide bread for all humanity, but it is christ alone who is the bread of life...even if all the physical hunger of the world were satisfied, even if everyone who is hungry were fed by his or her own labor or by the generosity of others, the deepest hunger of man would still exist...therefore, i say, come, all of you, to christ. he is the bread of life. come to christ and you will never be hungry again.

Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.

Remember, remember, the fifth of november, the gunpowder treason and plot. i know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot... but what of the man? i know his name was guy fawkes and i know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the houses of parliament.

Even with the recent story about the nurse killing herself in king edward hospital, there's no blame placed on kate middleton, who was in the hospital as far as i could see for absolutely no reason. she feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman. the arrogance of the british royals is staggering, absolutely staggering. and why it's allowed to be i really don't know... it wasn't because of two djs in australia that this woman took her own life, it was the pressure around her.
