"How is the journey of my faith going? Is it parked or is it on the move? Faith, if
it is to grow, has to begin ever anew. It needs to be sparked by desire, to
take up the challenge of entering into a living and lively relationship with
God. Does my heart still burn with desire for God? Or have I allowed force of
habit and my own disappointments to extinguish that flame?"
--Pope Francis, Homily, January 6, 2022
“Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity
asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it
right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither
safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.”
--Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929--1968)
