“Without Pentecost the Christ-event – the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus – remains imprisoned in history as something to remember, think about and reflect on. The Spirit of Jesus comes to dwell within us, so that we can become living Christs here and now.” (Henri Nouwen)
“Freedom is within our grasp, and Pesach reminds us that we need to reach.” — (Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson)
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to Me.” – (Exodus 13:1-2)
“Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.” – (George Gordon Byron)
““Tolstoy said, “The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed in two ways: by a change of life or by a change of conscience.” Many of us have elected to adjust our consciences rather than our lives. Our powers of rationalization allow us to live in luxury and indifference while others, whom we could help if we chose to, go hungry, are abused and exploited, or go to Hell.””
