Past notes -- Looking for God

"This life is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness.
Not health, but healing;
not being, but becoming . . .
We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it,
the process is not yet finished
but it is going on,
this is not the destination -
but it is the road.
All does not yet shine in glory,
but all is being purified."

- Martin Luther

"O Lord, you have made us for yourself,
and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. ...
My soul's house is narrow for you to enter.
I ask you to make it larger.
It is in ruins; I ask you to rebuild it.
It contains things which must offend you;
this I know and admit.
But who else will make it clean?"

- Augustine

"Hidden from the prince of this world
were the virginity of Mary,
and her giving birth,
as also the death of the Lord:
three mysteries of a cry,
done in the silence of God.
. . . God was revealed in human form
for the sake of the newness of eternal life;
what had been prepared by God
took its beginning . . .
The abolition of death was being planned."

- Ignatius of Antioch

"I believe that I cannot,
by my own understanding or effort,
believe in Jesus Christ my Lord, or come to him.
But the Holy Spirit has called me through the Gospel ..."

The Lord brings us back to Zion,
we are like dreamers,
laughing, dancing,
with songs on our lips.
... Lord, bring us back
as water to thirsty land.
Those sowing in tears
reap, singing and laughing.
They left weeping, weeping,
casting the seed.
They come back singing, singing,
Holding high the harvest.

- Psalm 126, ICEL translation
