"Flesh—or his flesh—is also bread. Before establishing the link between bread and flesh, the gospel draws attention to the need to feed a hungry multitude." Poetics of the Flesh, Mayra Rivera, pg. 444 (Kindle version)

"Racism opposes the order of Eucharist. Racism insinuates the reign of sin; it is intrinsic evil. As structural or systemic, racism goes beyond prejudice or even bigotry by binding negative or vicious feelings or attitudes to the exercise of putatively legitimate power. Racism is both an ideology and a set of practices. It does not rely on the choices or actions of a few individuals; rather, racism infiltrates, permeates, and deforms the institutions of politics, economy, culture, even religion." Enfleshing Freedom, M. Shawn Copeland, pg. 109

"One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves," he said, "yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed," Kennedy explained, "from the bonds of injustices. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this nation, for all its hopes and all of its boasts, will not be free until all of its citizens are free." Kelly Brown Douglas, Stand Your Ground, pg. 211

"It bears repeating that in the very beginning, Americans "made a liturgy out of their history." As pointed out earlier, the first Pilgrim and Puritan Americans were certain that the American story was God's story. They were the progenitors of America's predominant sacred canopies. Both canopies, civil and Christian, assumed that God was acting in and through American history to bring about God's vision for the world." Kelly Brown Douglas, Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God, pg. 25

"This is a lively, open-ended definition that implies that the meaning of faith keeps needing interpretation for different groups of believers in historically changing times and places." Elizabeth A. Johnson, Abounding in Kindness, pg. 157-158

Instead, women must collectively develop ideals that serve as a containing space or an essential core of personhood, ideals that, when inhabited, enable women to become resiliently visible. This woman-defined space should be one that allows women to be more than the relations that fragment them. The strategic essentialist also talks about the value of asserting an emancipatory vision of a just and caring society.

However ugly human suffering and sin, God "does not despise what he has made and does not disdain to serve us even in the simplest need that is proper to our body in nature, because of the love of our soul which he has made in his own likeness." Her theology of creation emphasizes the full scope of providential goodness: it expands across all creation, and it does not forget to care for the body's intimate needs.

The Thirst of God, Wendy Farley, pg. 117

In her Prisons, written in the last years of her life, Marguerite of Navarre mentions the Mirror of Simple Souls among the books "which follow unconditionally the intention of the Sacred Bible":

But among all the books I saw one by a woman
Written a hundred years ago, filled with the flame
Of Charity, so very ardently
That love and love alone was its concern,
The beginning and end of all she said.

Oh, how attentive this woman was
To receive that love which burned
Her own heart and those which she spoke!
Well she knew by her subtle spirit
The true friend whom she named Noble.

And her Far-Nigh, oh, how are you all named He is
He Who must be loved above all!

He is Noble and through His nobleness
He makes her noble too;
He ennobles the soul with His bounty
So she, from a churl, becomes a lady

Women Mystics in Medieval Europe, Marguerite Porete, pg. 6 of document (pg. 150-151 in book)

"I mean, I know you gon help her any way you can to get free."
"... . . . Yes, I'll try." I said.
"What I need is you swearing to it."
I nodded, hardly understanding that I'd been deftly guided into a covenant.
"You keep your word," she said. "I know you will."
The Invention of Wings, pg. 31
