Brennan Manning Quotes About Children

• Cada vez que permito que algo que no sea ternura y compasión dicte mi respuesta a la vida -ya sea la ira farisaica, la moralización, la actitud defensiva, la necesidad imperiosa de cambiar a los demás...- me alejo de mi verdadero yo. Mi identidad como hijo de Abba [hijo de Dios] se vuelve ambigua, vacilante y confusa.

• If we maintain the open-mindedness of children, we challenge fixed ideas and established structures, including our own. We listen to people in other denominations and religions. We don't find demons in those with whom we disagree. We don't cozy up to people who mouth our jargon. If we are open, we rarely resort to either-or: either creation or evolution, liberty or law, sacred or secular, Beethoven or Madonna. We focus on both-and, fully aware that God's truth cannot be imprisoned in a small definition.

• To ignore, repress, or dismiss our feelings is to fail to listen to the stirrings of the Spirit within our emotional life. Jesus listened. In John's Gospel we are told that Jesus was moved with the deepest emotions (11:33)... The gospel portrait of the beloved Child of Abba is that of a man exquisitely attuned to His emotions and uninhibited in expressing them. The Son of Man did not scorn of reject feelings as fickle and unreliable. They were sensitive antennae to which He listened carefully and through which He perceived the will of His Father for congruent speech and action.

  Jesús, Niños, Padre

• Que todas tus expectativas se frustren, que todos tus planes se frustren, que todos tus deseos se marchiten en la nada, para que experimentes la impotencia y la pobreza de un niño y cantes y bailes en el amor de Dios que es Padre, Hijo y Espíritu.

• The anything-goes passiveness of the religious and political Left is matched by the preachy moralism of the religious and political Right. The person who uncritically embraces any party line is guilty of an idolatrous surrender of her core identity as Abba's Child. Neither liberal fairy dust nor conservative hardball addresses our ragged human dignity.

• Jesús dice. "Reconoce y acepta quién quiero ser para ti: un Salvador de compasión sin límites, paciencia infinita, perdón insoportable y amor que no lleva la cuenta de los errores. Deja de proyectar en Mí tus propios sentimientos sobre ti mismo. En este momento tu vida es una caña magullada y no la aplastaré, una mecha ardiente y no la apagaré. Estás en un lugar seguro".
