Welcome To The Religion Network!
I'm Lisa Bowman. The Religion Network is an interfaith web site providing inspiration, quotes and religious resources. This Home Page is changed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You are warmly
invited to read every quote posted for each theme, or simply to read those that interest you. They are
offered in the belief that inspiration can be found in all spiritual faiths, and that finding the commonality
in religions is more important than pointing up the differences. Religion is precious gift that blesses the
individual and uplifts the community. However you worship, I hope this site enhances your journey. Let
us meet regularly and build a spiritual network. If you'd like to know my story, click on biography.



Blessed by He who spoke and the world came into being;
blessed be He.
Blessed be He who maintains the creation.
Blessed be He who speaks and performs.
Blessed be He who decrees and fulfils.
Blessed be He who has mercy upon the earth.
Blessed be He who pays a good reward to those who fear Him.
Blessed be He who lives for ever, and endures to eternity.
Blessed be He who redeems and saves; blessed be his name...

Jewish prayer from the Authorized Daily Prayer Book of the
United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth
1990 Singer's Prayer Book Publication Committee

The power of spiritual forces in the Universe -
how active it is everywhere! Invisible to the eyes,
and impalpable to the senses, it is inherent in all
things, and nothing can escape its operation.

Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
Chinese social philosopher




Every drop of the ocean contains salt but it is invisible.
Similarly the Omnipresent Lord permeates and pervades
the entire creation but is invisible.

Shanti Vachan Bhandar, 1241
Hindu scriptures

The extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After one
extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe
has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, finding intri-
icacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping
profusions on profligacies with fresh vigor.
The whole show has been on fire since the word go!

Annie Dillard (1945 -    )
Pulitzer Prize-winning American author

With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation,
and say on that day:

Give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name; among the nations
make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name.

Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement;
let this be known throughout all the earth.

Isaiah 12: 3-5
New American Bible


And now, the Last Word:

Listen, my heart, to the whispers
of the world with which it makes love to you.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
Asia's first Nobel Laureate
