Frederick Buechner Quotes About Birth

• En toda la historia del universo, por no hablar de tu propia historia, nunca ha habido otro día como hoy, y nunca volverá a haber otro igual. Hoy es el punto al que te han conducido todos tus ayeres desde la hora de tu nacimiento. Es el punto de partida de todos tus mañanas hasta la hora de tu muerte. Si fueras consciente de lo valioso que es el día de hoy, difícilmente podrías vivirlo. A menos que seas consciente de lo valioso que es, no se puede decir que estés viviendo.

  Frederick Buechner

  Ayer, hoy, otro día

• El nacimiento de Jesús hizo posible no sólo una nueva forma de entender la vida, sino una nueva forma de vivirla.

  Jesus, Understanding, Way

  Frederick Buechner, Lee Boltin (1974). “The life of Jesus”, Gramercy

• The Gospel writers are not really interested primarily in the facts of the birth but in the significance, the meaning for them of that birth just as the people who love us are not really interested primarily in the facts of our births but in what it meant to them when we were born and how for them the world was never the same again, how their whole lives were changed with new significance.

  Gente, Mundo, Hechos

  Frederick Buechner (1981). “The hungering dark”

• It is impossible to conceive how different things would have turned out if that birth had not happened whenever, wherever, however it did for millions of people who have lived since, the birth of Jesus made possible not just a new way of understanding life but a new way of living it. It is a truth that, for twenty centuries, there have been untold numbers of men and women who, in untold numbers of ways, have been so grasped by the child who was born, so caught up in the message he taught and the life he lived, that they have found themselves profoundly changed by their relationship with him.

  Jesús, Niños, Hombres

• He also said we should carve in the year and place where I was born, but I said no. As a man dies many times before he's dead, so does he wend from birth to birth until, by grace, he comes alive at last.
