SEXUAL  MORALITY

Quote for Today  - February 27, 2011

"In all honesty, the Scripture scholar is surprised to find how little direct teaching Jesus gives us on sexual morality.  It is obviously not his main concern: that is reserved for the proclamation of the kingdom of God and the call to forgiveness and reconciliation. This does not mean that sexual morality is unimportant, but that Jesus seems to feel that sexual practice will take care of itself if the primary teachings are deeply received."


Father Richard Rohr, O.F.M., in Soujouners

PRAYER 

AND 

CONTEMPLATION

Quote for Today - February 21,  2011

"Prayer is one thing.

Contemplation in prayer is another ....

Prayer is sowing.

Contemplation is the reaping of the harvest,

when the reaper is filled with wonder

at the indescribable sight

of the beautiful ears of corn,

which sprung up before him

from the little naked seeds that he sowed."

St. Isaak of Syria - died around 700. Born in the area of modern day Qatar or Bahrain.
