The nuns taught us there are two ways through life...
The way of Nature
And the way of Grace.
You have to choose which one you'll follow.
Grace doesn't try to please itself.
Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked.
Accepts insults and injuries.
Nature only wants to please itself.
Get others to please it too.
Likes to lord it over them.
To have its own way.
It finds reasons to be unhappy--
When all the world is shining around it,
When love is smiling through all things.
They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace
Ever comes to a bad end.
Lord, why?
Where were you?
Did you know
what happened?
Do you
care?
Help each
other.
Love
everyone.
Every
leaf.
Every ray of
light.
Forgive.
The only way
to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by.

Uh, love this movie so much! Some of these quotes remind me of what Jason Upton was talking about last night.
