Saturday Afternoon Quotes

“God invites us to share the divine emptiness.  The divine emptiness might also be described as total vulnerability: the willingness to be hurt over and over again without loving less but more.  That means never giving up on anyone, not even ourselves.  Of such is the kingdom of God.”

--Fr. Thomas Keating

“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself.  They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

--Alan Cohen
