As the family goes…
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)
There is an anger…
There is an anger which is engendered of evil, and there is an anger engendered of good. Hastiness of temper is the cause of the evil, divine principle is the cause of the good.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
Falsehood separates us…
Falsehood – and only falsehood – separates us from God … False thoughts, false words, false feelings, false desires – Behold the aggregate of lies that leads us to non-being, illusion, and rejection of God.
–Saint Nicholas of Serbia (1880-1956)
You cannot heal…
You cannot heal what you do not first acknowledge.
–Richard Rohr (1943-
Dangerous to teach…
It is dangerous for anyone to teach who has not first been trained in the practical life. For if someone who owns a ruined house receives guests there, he does them harm because of the dilapidation of his dwelling. It is the same in the case of someone who has not first built an interior dwelling; he causes loss to those who come. By words one may convert them to salvation, but by evil behavior, one injures them.
–Saint Synkletike (a Desert Mother)
Christ is the way…
If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because He Himself is the way.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
