sacrifice

I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up. 

Lauren Oliver

endurance

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death.

cross

In confession occurs the breakthrough of the Cross. The root of all sin is pride, superbia. I want to be my own law, I have a right to my self, my hatred and my desires, my life and my death. The mind and flesh of man are set on fire by pride; for it is precisely in his wickedness that man wants to be as God. Confession in the presence of a brother is the profoundest kind of humiliation. It hurts, it cuts a man down, it is a dreadful blow to pride…In the deep mental and physical pain of humiliation before a brother – which means, before God – we experience the Cross of Jesus as our rescue and salvation. The old man dies, but it is God who has conquered him. Now we share in the resurrection of Christ and eternal life.

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

hope

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)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. • Romans 15:13

penitential

 

No quote for this one… just the face of a little angel who took her diaper off during her nap and painted the walls.
