Quotation of the day

(St. David, bishop of Wales, once preached)
“Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have seen me do, and heard about. ..."
... “Do the little things.” For as I was taught, from a child, by the same old man mentioned above, “God is in the details.”Hope is in the details.... And how often in the midst of large, the hope emerges from a small place...
The cynical will never see this, for they have darkened that part of their vision, and put their hope in the wrong things: in wealth, and luxury, in sexual conquest, in control and power....

(but) against them we pose the mysterious instruction of St David and all other saints: “Be joyful.” For faith, hope, and charity are compassed in that joy.
