"The Road to Jerusalem Is Clear," Joan Chittister,
National Catholic
Reporter, 2001.
- "The real key to the coming of the reign of God on earth, the rabbis imply, is not God's fidelity. The real determinant between what ought to be and what will be in this world is the mettle of our own unflagging faith that the God who leads us to a point of holy wakefulness stays with us through it to the end."
