“Keys to Finding Hope: 1. Hope depends upon taking care that we have at least two alternatives, in every situation we find ourselves, and with every task confronting us. 2. In any situation, no matter how much we may feel we are at the mercy of vast forces out there, that are totally beyond our control, we can always find something that is within our control, however small, and work on that. 3. Nothing that happens to us is just senseless and meaningless. In the context of our total life, it will eventually turn out to have meaning.” FeelsMayTwoMatterHappensCareTurnsForceSituationKeysDependsFindingsTasksMercyAlternativesMeaninglessConfronting Author:Richard Nelson Bolles

“How could the human mind progress, while tormented with frightful phantoms, and guided by men, interested in perpetuating its ignorance and fears? Man has been forced to vegetate in his primitive stupidity: he has been taught stories about invisible powers upon whom his happiness was supposed to depend. Occupied solely by his fears, and by unintelligible reveries, he has always been at the mercy of priests, who have reserved to themselves the right of thinking for him, and of directing his actions.” ThinkingMenMindHumansHas BeensStoriesActionProgressIgnoranceTaughtDependsMercyStupidityInvisiblePriestsHuman MindPrimitiveReservedPhantomsReveriePerpetuatingIgnorance And Fear Author:Baron d'Holbach
“People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity; they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.'

“I have, by God’s grace, learned as a member of the Christian community what is the nature of God’s mercy, which does not leave me to overcome my sin by my own effort, so I have something to say to the fellow-sufferer who does not know where to look for hope. And what I have to say depends utterly on my willingness not to let go of that awareness of myself that reminds me where I start each day—not as a finished saint but as a needy person still struggling to grow.” KnowsLooksPersonsDoeStillsChristianGrowsCommunityMy OwnSinEffortStruggleGraceAwarenessDependsLetting GoMembersMercyOvercomingFellowsSaintFinishedEach DayWillingnessLeaving MeNeedyGod's GraceSufferersChristian Community Book:Where God Happens: Discovering Christ in One Another Source: Where God Happens: Discovering Christ in One Another
