Famous quotes containing the words therese and/or murray:

    Love casts the mighty from their thrones,
    promotes the insecure,
    leaves hungry spirits satisfied,
    the rich seem suddenly poor.
    —Miriam Therese Winter (20th century)

    Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)
