Notes"What has eschatology to do with ethics? What has the new heavens and new earth, for which we long, have to do with my moral struggles here and now? Exactly this, I’ll tell you. Love is not our duty, it is our destiny. Love is the language they speak in the new creation and we get to learn it here. Oh, it’s difficult. There are lots of irregular verbs. There’s vocabulary that will be very difficult to get into your head and get your tongue round. But learn it and one day you’ll be singing in it."N.T. Wright (via nomoresea)

Notes"If you want to know who God is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what it means to be human, look at Jesus. If you want to know what love is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what grief is, look at Jesus. And go on looking until you’re not just a spectator, but you’re actually part of the drama which has him as the central character."N.T. Wright (via firstbreath90)

Notes"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world."Jack Layton, in a letter to the public 2 days before his death (via mikegarycole)

Notes"That your enemies have been created is God’s doing; that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your own mind? ‘Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them!’ You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become."Saint Augustine (via catholiclifeguard)
Deeply challenging! True love is the way of Christ - but it is extremely difficult!

Notes"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
