To discern the light in everyone, even when it is fragmented, even when it is distorted. To know that it is hard to remove the chaff without also removing the wheat. To put more and more wheat into each person without worrying about the chaff.

—Madeleine Delbrêl

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

JOY IN THE ORDINARY

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. Delbrêl’s luminous reflections on Christ, man, and everyday life tap into the depths of divine mystery yet shine with the simplicity of a child.
