In memory of Tom Holstein: Friendship, Service and Faith

Friendship that flows from the heart cannot be frozen by adversity, as the water that flows from the spring cannot congeal in winter. - James Fenimore Cooper

The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, love do not require coupons. - George T. Hewitt

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. - Douglas Adams

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. - Albert Einstein

“The word "Eucharist" means literally "act of thanksgiving." To celebrate the Eucharist and to live a Eucharistic life has everything to do with gratitude. Living Eucharistically is living life as a gift, a gift for which one is grateful. But gratitude is not the most obvious response to life, certainly not when we experience life as a series of losses! Still, the great mystery we celebrate in the Eucharist and live in a Eucharistic life is precisely that through mourning our losses we come to know life as a gift.” - Henri J.M. Nouwen

“I held the Host with two fingers and thought: How small Jesus made Himself, in order to show us that He doesn't expect great things of us, but rather little things with great love.”  -  Mother Teresa
