I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn’t care much for themselves, God doesn’t bless them. I didn’t want to be pope.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

I have always believed in God.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

Saints need sinners.

The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.

For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of ‚passive action,‘ the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

Christians are not limited to any church.

We are all at times unconscious prophets.

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.

I think there’s a lot of similarity between what people try to do with religion with what they want from art. In fact, I very specifically think that they are same thing. Not that religion and art are the same, but that they both tap into the same need we have for surrender.

My grandpa was a preacher.

A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

It says nothing against the ripeness of a spirit that it has a few worms.

He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.

Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

I know I do not exaggerate, unconsciously and unintentionally, the scantiness of my resources and the difficulty of my life… I know that, but for the mercy of God, I might easily have been, for any care that was taken of me, a little robber or a vagabond.

There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation’s braggart lords.

Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosopher’s or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself, and that is why you must know yourself – Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.
