Greetings fellow quote lovers:
Today’s issue is very spiritual and ecumenical. All
religions have the power to bring us together and it is
difficult to sift through the historical clutter to
identify the forces that pitted one religion against the
other. But if you look deep enough, you will see that
those who sew the seeds of conflict amongst the children
of God have a purpose.
I hope you enjoy this week’s special issue! Let me know.
best,
JA

gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was

you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you
did it to me.

**— MYSTERY QUOTE —**
Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what
is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature:
to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with
benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that
we remember not to consider men’s evil intention but to
look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and
effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and
dignity allures us to love and embrace them.

Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains
as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed
your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a
garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We

a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds
water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and
plants, and gardens luxuriant.
