Source and End of Life

"Jesus Christ is the assurance that all of life, the life of every human and the rest of creation, originates in and ends in the life of God. Your life, or mine, or that of anybody, issues from the word of God. This is and remains the essential truth about you or me or anybody, no matter whatever else may seem to be true."
Bill Stringfellow

Wonderful quote. I got to meet Stringfellow briefly just before he died. He came to my college for a lecture. He was very thin and just kind of wrapped himself in one of those folding chairs will little side desks attached, and spoke very softly. A great saint and prophet. Way ahead of the curve on the end of Christendom thing. His writings continue to inspire.
