“We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury.

“Work is a means; it is not an end. And for any tasks that can be performed or eliminated by a capital instrument, human labor is not the best means... Furthermore, we have science, engineering and management - the three disciplines - that really plan and control the production of goods and services, trying to eliminate labor.

“When I started out on my pilgrimage, I was using walking for two purposes at that time. One was to contact people, and I still use it for that purpose today. But the other was as a prayer discipline. To keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace. And after a few years I discovered something. I discovered that I no longer needed the prayer discipline. I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument through which only truth can speak.” PeopleYearsStillsTwoUseTodayPurposeSpeakPrayerPrayingNeededDisciplineWalkingInstrumentsContactI PrayPilgrimage Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
