The Least of These ~

A test of a people is 

how it behaves toward the old.

 It is easy to love children.

 Even tyrants and dictators

 make a point of being fond of children.

 But the affection and care for

 the old, the incurable, the helpless

 are the true gold mines

 of a culture.

The Gift Of Light ~

"Give light, and the darkness

 will disappear of itself."

 Desiderius Erasmus

"Worship is a way of seeing the world

 in the light of God."

Abraham Heschel
