Military Training On Catholic Campuses Is Wrong – NCR

…a Catholic Worker farm in north central Canada

Peter Maurin

In the first centuries of Christianity the hungry were fed at a personal sacrifice, the naked were clothed at a personal sacrifice, the homeless were sheltered at a personal sacrifice… And [they]  used to say about the Christians, “See how they love each other.”

– Peter Maurin

Dorothy Day

What we would like to do is change the world – make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do….We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

– Dorothy Day

Thomas Merton

Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.

– Thomas Merton

Henri Nouwen

It is a shame that in  a society as great as our own that you cannot get your PhD in care.

– Henri Nouwen

…freely you have received, freely give.

– Matthew 10:8b
