36:13. The godless in heart harbour resentment;even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help. - P186
The book of Job, instead, brings us face to face with the living God, and invites us to live in his light with all our logical gaps, untidy edges and struggling faith. - P155
The divine wisdom, as we shall see, comes by way of the storm and the whirlwind. In a phrase from a poem by Professor Frances Young, ‘wisdom‘ takes onanother aspect. Wisdom‘ is the ‘wild order of things‘.The poem is called ‘Sophie‘s call‘ (echoing deliberately the Greekword for wisdom, sophia). - P129
Elihu’s God is too tidy and too small. - P130
Job thought he had fallen through a gap in the Creator‘s management of the world. But now he is reassured. The Creator is holding all things by the word of his power;nothing - not even the silly ostrich or the terrible monsters outside his gracious hand. So Job can rest secure, and live with his questions being unanswered. In God, power, justice and wisdom are all aspects of one and the same divine character,so Job can let the matter rest in faith within the mystery of God. Faith, we said, is what God gives us to help us live with uncertainties. - P156
When our deepest truth is that we are the Beloved and when our greatest joy and peace come from fully claiming that truth, it follows that this has to become visible and tangible in the ways we eat and drink, talk and love, play and work. - P47
To identify the movements of the Spirit in our lives, I have found it helpful to use four words: "taken," "blessed," "broken," and "given." These words summarize my life as a Christian because, as a Christian, I am called to become bread for the world: bread that is taken, blessed, broken, and given. - P48
Therefore, the first step in the spiritual life is to acknowledge with our whole being that we already have been taken.—-As children of God, we are God‘s chosen ones. - P51
문학은 타인의 견해를 비이성적이라 할 만큼 신경 쓴 시람들이 부서져 남은 잔해와 함끼 흩뿌려져 있습니다
Faith does not provide answers, but it is a hand in the darkness keeping alive that trust despite all appearances, God is still on his side.“The problems of suffering’—— rethought in the light of crucified God—— We may not find answers, but we discover that in the depths of our pain and our questions, God is there beside us in the person of Christ. It is communion with him which gives us the grace to live with questions and uncertainties.
이야기는 시간을 채우고, 시간을 품위있게 메우며, 시간을 잘게 나누고, 무엇인가 내용을 지니게 하여, 무엇인가를 시작하게 한다는점에서 음악과 흡사하기 때문이다. 남자는 욕망에 도취되고, 여자는 남자의 욕망에 도취되기를 갈망하고 기대하는 것입니다. 그래서 우리 남자에게는 감정을 발산할 의무거 있습니다. 그 때문에 여자의 욕망을 일깨우게 하지 못하는 무감각과 무기력은 무서운 치욕입니다. -민헤어 페퍼코른
