That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. Robert Fulghum, author of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, p 274 REFLECTION Many people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our Dalai Lama XIV Quoted in the Washington Post Sunday, October 21, 2007 REFLECTION I wonder if the invitation of Advent is not also that God desires to inhabit us, to make a home within our home. . . .

Jubilee 2013 The Image of the Invisible God
