I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

What I cry out for, like every being, with my whole life and all my earthly passion, is something very different from an equal to cherish: it is a God to adore.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.

The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.

At the end of the day, I pray for the best.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world… to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

We are not at war against Islam.

To every soul that knows how to pray, to every soul that by faith comes to Jesus, the true mercy seat, divine sovereignty wears no dark and terrible aspect but is full of love.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.

What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.

Say what you will about the ten commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

Men know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

We’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

The day we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior is one of the greatest days of our lives. Not only are our sins washed away, but God puts His Spirit inside of us and gives us new desires.

Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace.

Peace comes when you talk to the guy you most hate. And that’s where the courage of a leader comes, because when you sit down with your enemy, you as a leader must already have very considerable confidence from your own constituency.

My dear wife has, I would say, probably never opened a religious book, and seems to be one of those people to whom the whole idea is utterly remote and absurd.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair, there is no hope.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up – they have no holidays.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

God’s got you in the palm of His hand. You won’t leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you’re going to be here.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

Where love is, there God is also.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

However weak we are, however poor, however little our faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus‘ love.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

Christ didn’t choose the rich to preach the doctrine; he choose 12 poor ignorant workers – that is, he chose the proletariat of the times.

Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!

Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose being kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind.

We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

It was the experience of mystery – even if mixed with fear – that engendered religion.
