Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.
—G. K. Chesterton
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we are saved by hope. . . . Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love.
—Reinhold Niebuhr
Sins cannot be undone, only forgiven.
—Igor Stravinsky
