“We cannot hope to enliven the Holy Spirit within us by merely crawling up into God’s lap and falling asleep in His sweet aroma & cozy warmth, especially when so much of the world – indeed so much of our own community – lies swaddled in the cold and clammy darkness of human suffering …

No, the Holy Spirit is only awakened when we have the courage to do what the original followers of Christ did when they did not have enough food for the hungry at their door — when their entire community would fast until every one of them could sit and share a meal together.” ~ inspired by Shane Claiborne
