“Beauty does more than awaken us. It also admonishes us. It demands something… We are here, in religious community, not to hide from the anguished cries or the tender lullabies. We are here, in religious community, not to protect our hearts from breaking. We are here together to borrow courage for the task of coming alive. We are here so that together we might heed the admonitions of beauty. Answer its call to create, protect, and preserve.”
– Rev. Mary Katherine Morn
