Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours, yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion is to look out to the earth, yours are the feet by which He is to go about doing good and yours are the hands by which He is to bless us now.
--St. Teresa of Avila
Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction -Pope Benedict XVI

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life lyrics Songwriters: Idle, Eric;
Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble give a whistle This will help things turn out for the best
Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the right side of life
If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly, chumps Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
So, always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a counterfeit and when you look at it Life's a laugh and death's the joke, it's true You see, it's all a show, keep them laughing as you go Just remember the last laugh is on you
Always look on the bright side of life And always look on the right side of life Always look on the bright side of life And always look on the right side of life
“We look to not only the spiritual but also the temporal, and we believe that a person who is impoverished temporally cannot blossom spiritually.” Keith McMullin - Counsellor in Presiding Bishopric
