More wisdom from Madeleine Delbrêl

 
 
 

For man, to work should be to express the gifts that he has within him as a creature. Because all have that ability to create, to transform the material around them. Work is the possibility of self-expression.

—Madeleine Delbrêl

from her book, The Dazzling Light of God: A Madeleine Delbrêl Reader

Choose joy

Gathered in this book are buds of wisdom from across the writings of Madeleine Delbrêl, who believed that Christian joy is possible—indeed necessary—in the bleakest settings. God can never abandon the world he loves. “We, the ordinary people of the streets, believe with all our might that this street, that this world where God has placed us, is, for us, the site of our holiness.”
