As we begin the new year, I remember a few words.  Excerpts from the prayer of Oscar Romero...

....This is what we are about.  We plant the seeds that one day will grow.  We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold promise.

....We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.  This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.

....It is a beginning, a step along the way,

...We are prophets of a future not our own.
