The liturgical year is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ. It proposes, year after year, to immerse us over and over again into the sense and substance of the Christian life until, eventually we become what we say we are - followers of Jesus all the way to the heart of God
Joan D. Chittister
Memory is not about what went on in the past, it is about what is going on inside us right this moment. It is made up of the stuff of life in the process of becoming the grist of the soul.
Joan D. Chittister
Hospitality is simply love on the loose.
Joan D. Chittister
Life is not meant to be a burden. Life is not a problem to be solved. It is a blessing to be celebrated.

Joan D. Chittister
Everything we do seeds the future. No action is an empty one.

Joan D. Chittister
It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us.
Joan D. Chittister
We have learned that the things we amassed to prove to ourselves how valuable, how important, how successful we were, didn't prove it at all. In fact, they have very little to do with it. It's what's inside of us, not what's outside of us that counts.
