NOTES AND QUOTES

PASSION SUNDAY
It’s easy for Christians to appear as masochists when they talk about human suffering. But there is no denying that suffering can also be redemptive. History is littered with examples of people whose suffering has produced the recognition that pain can be a thread in the pattern of God’s weaving. And through the torment they achieve a fundamental joy.
(Florence Walsh)

Nobody can love suffering, but we can love to suffer. Instinctively we recoil from suffering but we can learn to suffer for a positive dynamic reason.
(Basil Hume)
 

I can’t believe in a God who only saves people who live in certain latitudes. If I had happened to be born in Delhi I’d probably be a Hindu; or in Iran a Muslim.
(Robert Runcie)
