Let new words leap out of our mouths.
Let our hands be astonished at what we have made, and glad.
Let us follow ourselves into a present not ruled by the past.
If we jump up now, our far will be near.
~ Minnie Bruce Pratt, "If we jump up" in INSIDE THE MONEY MACHINE

The risen Jesus penetrates the entire cosmos pervades the whole world, And makes his presence felt in every human being. The resurrection is a process that began with Jesus and will go on until it embraces all creation. Wherever an authentically human life is growing the world, Wherever justice is triumphing over the instincts of domination, Wherever grace is winning out over the power of sin, in their social life together, Wherever love is getting the better of selfish interests and hope is resisting the lure of cynicism or despair, There the process of resurrection is being turned into reality.
~ "Way of the Cross - Way of Justice" by Leonardo Boff
