Brother Roger of Taiz October 29 Jesus, love of all loving, in the plowed-up earth of our lives you come to place the trusting of faith. A small seed at first, faith can become within us one of the most unmistakable Gospel realities. It sustains the inexhaustible goodness of a human heart. God understands all our human languages. He understands our words, and our silences too.
Silence is sometimes all there is to prayer.
The vast possibilities of science and technology are able to alleviate sufferings, and to put an end to famines, in the human family as it grows to unprecedented proportions. Indispensable though they may be, these powerful means by themselves are not enough.
