"My faith is not a magic
charm, like garlic to chase away vampires. It is, instead, what sustains me in
the midst of all the normal joys and tragedies of the ordinary human life. It
is faith that helps my grief to be creative, not destructive. It is faith that
kept me going through the pain at the very portals of death and pulled me,
whether I would or no, back into life and whatever work still lies ahead. It is
faith that what happens to me matters to God as well as to me that gives me
joy, that promises me that I am eternally the subject of God’s compassion, and
that assures me that the compassion was manifested most brilliantly when God
came to us in a stable in Bethlehem. God
gave us the wonderful story of Jesus and that story dignifies my story, your
story, all our stories." -Madeleine L’Engle The
