If You Want Peace, Work

Liturgy Is Like A Strong Tree Whose Beauty Is Derived From The Continuous Renewal Of Its Leaves, But Whose Strength Comes From The Old Trunk, With Solid Roots In The Ground.

All Life Demands Struggle. Those Who Have Everything Given To Them Become Lazy, Selfish, And Insensitive To The Real Values Of Life. The Very Striving And Hard Work That We So Constantly Try To Avoid Is The Major Building Block In The Person We Are Today.

The Work Of Art, Just Like Any Fragment Of Human Life Considered In Its Deepest Meaning, Seems To Me Devoid Of Value If It Does Not Offer The Hardness, The Rigidity, The Regularity, The Luster On Every Interior And Exterior Facet, Of The Crystal.

If You Want Peace, Work For Justice.
