Completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble (G. K. Chesterton / Fr. Ron Rolheiser)

Jesus promised his disciples three things –
that they would be completely fearless,
absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.

--G. K. Chesterton 

    The Gospel is not so much good advice as it is “good news.” It tells us how much God loves us. God is as proud of us as is any mother of her children. Peace comes to us when we can enjoy that favor. 

--Fr. Ron Rolheiser
