learning about our past puts life into perspective

from Praying, no.81, p. 31: "Peter Gilmour has written an important book. As we near the end of the twentieth century we look around us, and everywhere we see shattered institutions, families, communities and individual souls. Only contact with the sacred and holy can motivate us to go out into our neighborhoods, our society and our world and begin the necessary repairs and healing. When we find the holy breath and spirit of God in our own daily life and living then there is real hope for dynamism and transcendence."
