Sunday Reflections

PRAYER CONSISTS OF ATTENTION…. Humility is attentive patience…. Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul….

— Simone Weil, Waiting on God

THE SON OF GOD suffered unto the death, not that men might not suffer, but that their suffering might be like His.

— George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons

I might add that the Son of God suffered not that men and women might not suffer but to give their suffering meaning and purpose that leads to an eternal and hopeful perspective.
