Words of Encouragement[/SIZE]
“A hero is someone who over and over does the right thing even though no one is there to witness it.” – Bob Kerry, former senator, recipient of the Congressional Metal of Honor and president of New School University in New York City
”We must surround ourselves, in all our lives, with the fortress of community. Sometimes faith works, sometimes ritual works, but always, God is with us when we are there and care for one another.” – Claudia Highbaugh, chaplain and associate director of ministerial studies at Harvard Divinity School
”Faith is building on what you know is here so that you can reach what you know is there.” – Cullen Hightower, longtime columnist and author of Cullen Hightower’s Wit Kit
”I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even in the tiniest of our prayer make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to effect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives.” – Peter Kreeft, author and professor of philosophy at Boston College
”Everyone has problems, and learning to share them is essential. Hiding pain requires an enormous amount of energy; sharing it is liberating.” – Carly Simon, singer and songwriter who has battled breast cancer and depression
”The most amazing thing about a miracle is that it can’t happen until all else has failed. That’s God’s favorite time to work.” – Cindy Davis, author and grade-school teacher, Calvary Covenant School, Hampton, Virginia
