• Peace comes from living a measured life. Peace comes from attending to every part of my world in a sacramental way. My relationships are not what I do when I have time left over from my work. . . . Reading is not something I do when life calms down. Prayer is not something I do when I feel like it. They are all channels of hope and growth for me. They must all be given their due.

  Joan D. Chittister

Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Time, Creative, Suffering

  Life Magazine (p. 47), April 22, 1957; later quoted in Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Letters and Papers from Prison" (p. 47), 1967.
