Quote of the DaySojoNet Verse and Voice by Wayne Muller (08/09/2007) At our best, we become Sabbath for one another. We are the emptiness, the day of rest. We become space, that our loved ones, the lost and sorrowful, may find rest in us. Source: From "Sabbath" quoted in How Shall We Live by Joan Chittister, OSB. Provided by Sojo.Net |
