The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

It’s a curse. I ask God to take this away from me all the time. I do not like being an artist.

Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Your body has space within you that cannot die.

I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

Heaven means to be one with God.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

The last thing the devil wants you to do is be an obedient Christian.

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

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

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, the Lord Jesus, as we did once for our old tyrant lusts?

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

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.

I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.

No, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

Worship is transcendent wonder.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

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

Whatever is making you so angry, it’s time for you to give it to God and get over it.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

The Jesuits have a vow to obey the pope, but if the pope is a Jesuit, maybe he should have a vow to obey the superior general… I feel like I’m still a Jesuit in terms of my spirituality, what I have in my heart.

God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

I think Buddhism should open the door of psychology and healing to penetrate more easily into the Western world.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!
