TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCLXII


FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  My baby cries every time I set her down, so I hold her continuously, even when I shower and brush my teeth.  But it’s constant motion that she wants so I walk her and bounce her on my knee until I am exhausted.  We are alone.  No one comes by with food or offers to hold her while I go to the bathroom or prepare a meal.  Mothers aren’t supposed to be alone with their babies.  For millions of years they have had other people around to help.”  L. B. in The Sun Magazine

QUOTE II:  Today I watered my lawn with better water than most of the world had to drink.”  D. M.

I am not sure I understand nor agree with Mother Teresa's - only forgiveness leads to forgetfulness. Some things do not need to be forgotten but keep us safe from things that can harm us.

Actually I agree with you.

I think that this is kind of like John Paul's Theology of the Body and the idea of origianl innocence and "naked without shame" - but in a fallen world we need fig leaves. BUT . . . the ideal . . . and we should always have the ideal in mind.

Hi Father,
Do you have a link for the first quote here (from the Sun magazine)? I would like to read the rest of the article.
Thanks!

I don't think that it is on line. It wasn't an article as much as a short story. I still have the magazine if you would like it.
