Pace e Bene 12 March 2024

“When you take on the confusion and the violence and you refine them, purify them into something new, you are doing what in the vocabulary of faith we call consecrating your chaos. To consecrate is to make holy, to put it into service for good. In consecrating chaos, you engage it, tame it, name it, take what seemed out of control and charge it with a duty.”—Otis Moss III, Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times
