4. St. Francis Prayer Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console’
To be Understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in the pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

5. We have what we seek. It is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.

7. WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO Cancer is so limited… It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the SPIRIT.

26. Anything we do with a whole heart can be a prayer"
(David Steinal-Rast).

27. Be patient to all that is unsolved in your heart,
And try to love the questions themselves.
Do not seek the answers that cannot be given you,
Because the point is to live everything,
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will gradually without noticing it,
Live along some distant day into the answers.
We, who squander our sorrows,
How we look beyond them into
the mournful passage of time
To see whether they might end.
But they are seasons of us, yes,
our winter—
Abiding leafage, meadows,
ponds, landscapes we are born
into,
Inhabited by birds and creatures
in the reeds.

29. A human being is part of a whole called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space, he experiences himself his thoughts and feelings as something seperated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prism for us restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a very few persons nearest us
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prism by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of Nature In its beauty.
Albert Einstein

32. Spirituality is inclusive
Spirituality is inclusive. It is the deepest sense of belonging and participation. We all participate in the spiritual at all times, whether we know it or not. There’s no place to go to be seperated from the spirituallll “themost important thing is defining spirit is the recognition that spirit is an essential need of human nature. There is something in all of us that seeks the spiritual. This yearning varies in strength from person to person but it is always there in everyone. And so healing becomes possible. Rachel remen.
