Joan D. Chittister Quotes About Goodness

Quotes about: Goodness

• For centuries the church has confronted the human community with role models of greatness. We call them saints when what we really often mean to say is 'icon,' 'star,' 'hero,' ones so possessed by an internal vision of divine goodness that they give us a glimpse of the face of God in the center of the human. They give us a taste of the possibilities of greatness in ourselves.

  Stars, Hero, Mean

• Goodness is a process of becoming, not of being. What we do over and over again is what we become in the end.

  Joan D. Chittister

  Becoming, Goodness, Ends

• Living well has something to do with the spirituality of wholeheartedness, of seeing life more as a grace than as a penance, as time to be lived with eager expectation of its goodness, not in dread of its challenges.
