Ancient words for today's people

Everything matters.
You are not alone.
You are more than you know
The awful thing is not the final word.
Today is all we have. Today is enough.
We need each other.
St. Benedict's Way of Love

I love this rephrasing of St. Benedict's Rule. It feels like the lifeline that the Christ's message is supposed to be. So many live the hopelessness of the opposite of these thoughts; that's why there's church. So there's a place where people can hear and learn to live this message.

(One of the pastor's in the district has this painted on (his/her) office wall. Any guesses who?)
