God

*We humans keep trying to  create heaven on earth, attempting to make earth paradise according to the Adam-Eve experience before the Fall.  But, we can't do it and won't do it, no matter what.  The Word took on the entire human story before creating us in order to teach us by word and deed how to be broken and incomplete but also Godly and healing by loving and forgiving as we personally journey to the Kingdom of love and forgiveness.  We are individuals made for God by God through each other, loving and forgiving others since that is what God does to each of us on our journey to the kingdom where we'll be one: One Word of Love in the Spirit of Christ.  The journey is not simple nor easy but fruitful if we strive, personally and individually, to be loving and forgiving.

*God is the best weird experience there is.

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -The rebel is uninterested in ordinary purposes: growth, the standard of living, success, respectability.  How could she feel guilty about this when she sees so many others passionately concerned about them, and with such high seriousness, finding them the only reason for existence?  Her mission is to point to the absence - it's not exactly her mission, more her nature.  Amidst prophets who have become publicity agents, she invites us to make the world revolution in ourselves.  Her only merit is to accept silence and solitude on days when she is tempted too quit.  But no one should mistake her for an ascetic or a sage.  I'm impressed that she seems to want almost nothing.  She hardly dares to call herself Christian.  Another word would be needed, more modest.

  -...whatever rises up in her against society is also that which secretly is in league with it. 

  -Be suspicious of the rebel who uses her insurrection as stepladder.

  -It's impossible to grow without dying.

  -Destroy prejudices, liberate yourself, liberate me.
