“[When we drop our agendas] we begin to cultivate a mind of true goodness and compassion, which comes out of a concern for the Whole. As we live out of such a mind, we become generous, with no sense of giving or of making a sacrifice. We become open, with no sense of tolerance. We become patient, with no sense of putting up with anything. We become compassionate, with no sense of separation. And we become wise, with no sense of having to straighten anyone out.” GivingMindWholeCompassionWiseSacrificeGoodnessConcernPatientToleranceSeparationGenerousAgendasCompassionate Author:Steve Hagen

“I have met many, many farm workers and friends who love justice and who are willing to sacrifice for what is right. They have a quality about them that reminds me of the beatitudes. They are living examples that Jesus' promise is true: they have ben hungry and thirsty for righteousness and they have been satisfied. They are determined, patient people who believe in life and who give strength to others. They have given me more love and hope and strength than they will ever know.” PeopleKnowsGivingBelieveHas BeensJesusGivenJusticeQualitySacrificeExampleWillingPromiseMetsWorkersPatientDeterminedHungrySatisfiedRighteousnessFarmsThirstyHope And Love Author:Cesar Chavez
