I was all alone and those [segregationist] people were screaming, and suddenly I saw God smiling and I smiled…. A woman was standing there [near the school door], and she shouted at me ‘Hey you little nigger, what you smiling at?’ I looked right at her face and I said, ‘At God.’ Then she looked up at the sky, and then she looked at me, and she didn’t call me any...

Do not wonder that a man can become an imitator of God. He can, if he is willing. For it is not by ruling over his neighbor, or by seeking to hold the supremacy over those that are weaker, or by being rich, and showing violence towards those that are inferior, that happiness is found; nor can any one by these things become an imitator of God. But these things do not at all constitute His majesty....

Just stumbled across these fine folks - Bicycle Coffee Company. They roast their own beans and deliver fair trade coffee to San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. Pretty cool concept and story. I’m headed to San Francisco this weekend, so maybe I will see them out and about! Check out their website here.

A Celtic Prayer: Bless O Lord the food we are about to eat, and we pray you O God may it be good for our body and our soul and if there is any poor creature hungry or thirsty walking on the road may God send him in to us so that we can share the good with him - just as he shares his gifts with all of us.

“You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the...

“What we do is very little. But it is like the little boy with a few loaves and fishes. Christ took that little and increased it. [Christ] will do the rest. What we do is so little that we may seem to be constantly failing. But so did [Christ] fail. [Christ] met with apparent failure on the Cross. But unless the seeds fall into the earth and die, there is no harvest.” - Dorothy Day
