Soul Scribe

Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the death of our Lord and his broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on the way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

“Hope” is the thing with feathers —

That perches in the soul —

And sings the tune without the words —

And never stops — at all —

Emily Dickinson

If we pray, we will believe.
If we believe, we will love.
If we love, we will serve.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy.

G.K. Chesterton

If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. 

St. Francis of Assisi

If  you want others to be happy,
practice compassion.

If you want to be happy,
practice compassion.

The Dalai Lama

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels  unaware.

Hebrews 13:2

Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers,
“Grow, grow.”
