“To multitudes of sufferers on beds of pain and languishing, Jesus has been the great physician to-day; in many a weeping circle around precious dust, He has been the Divine comforter, and the tears have almost ceased to flow as this Jesus has touched the bier. Dying lips have whispered His name, and the valley of the shadow has been illumined as with the glory from the celestial shores.” Has BeensPainJesusNamesDyingTearsDivineBedGloryShadowFlowLipsCirclesDustTouchedShoreValleysPhysiciansMultitudesWeepingCelestialSufferersComforter Author:Abbott Eliot Kittredge

“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see aroundthem so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children's future--fear that they'll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.” PeopleChildrenFactsPainYoungFoundParentLosesClassPovertyStreetsStyleWindTouchedJailStemWorking ClassAccompanyChild RearingDelinquency Author:Lillian B.

“I do not believe we can truly enter into our own inner pain and wounds and open our hearts to others unless we have had an experience of God, unless we have been touched by God. We must be touched by the Father in order to experience, as the prodigal son did, that no matter how wounded we may be, we are loved. And not only are we loved, but we too are called to heal and to liberate. This healing power in us will not come from our capacities and our riches, but in and through our poverty. We are called to discover that God can bring peace, compassion and love through our wounds.” BelieveHeartMayHas BeensMatterPainOrderFatherHealingCompassionPovertySonCapacityAnd LoveRichesWoundsHealTouchedWoundedProdigalsProdigal Son Author:Jean Vanier
