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)
