Awliyo Alla iyadaa is af taqaan:
Saints of Allah dig each other
Saints of Adonai daven with each other
Saints of God speak to each other
In the same tongue
In Truth
In Spirit
And never ever need
No interpreter
No translator.
—A Somali saying
IN YOUR MIDST
I, God, am in your midst
Whoever knows me can never fall
Not in the heights
Nor in the depths
Nor in the breadths
For I am love
Which the vast expanse of evil
Can never still.
—Hildegard of Bingen
Lord, make me the instrument of thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
—Saint Francis of Assisi
