I Am Commanded Therefore I Am.

There Is A Built-in Sense Of Indebtedness In The Consciousness Of Man, An Awareness Of Owing Gratitude, Or Being Caled Upon At Certain Moments To Reciprocate, To Answer, To Live In A Way Which Is Compatible With The Grandeur And Mystery Of Living.

The Primary Purpose Of Prayer Is Not To Make Requests. The Primary Purpose Is To Praise, To Sing, To Chant. Because The Essence Of Prayer Is A Song, And Man Cannot Live Without A Song. Prayer May Not Save Us. But Prayer May Make Us Worthy Of Being Saved.

Wonder, Or Radical Amazement, Is A Way Of Going Beyond What Is Given In Thing And Thought, Refusing To Take Anything For Granted, To Regard Anything As Final. It Is Our Honest Response To The Grandeur And Mystery Of Reality Our Confrontation With That Which Transcends The Given.

Celebration Is A Confrontation, Giving Attention To The Transcendent Meaning Of One's Actions.
