Pithy quotes from our current reading which give us pause to reflect


Joy & Strength (Click on image or follow link for better resolution.)

So much for being bored riding a cloud with a harp, pie in the sky by-and-by.

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
