As much as…
As much as a cup could hold all the waters of the ocean, so much can our little mind hold the ocean of the Godhead, of divine wisdom.
–Augoustinos Kantiotis (1907-2010)
Don’t make yourself…
Don’t make yourself into anyone other than the one he intended, and you will always have God in your mind.
–Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)
Regard yourself all…
Regard yourself all the more as a sinner because you cannot feel yourself to be what you are.
–Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
Coming of Christ…
We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but a second as well, much more glorious than the first. The first coming was marked by patience; the second will bring the crown of a divine kingdom…At the first coming he was wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger. At his second coming he will be clothed in light as in a garment. In the first coming he endured the cross, despising the shame; in the second coming he will be in glory, escorted by an army of angels. We look then beyond the first coming and await the second… Our Lord Jesus Christ will therefore come from heaven. He will come at the end of the world, in glory, at the last day. For there will be an end to this world, and the created world will be made new.
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
No one heals…
No one heals himself by wounding another.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
Without being changed…
If anyone claims to have met Christ without being changed, he has not met Him at all.
–Peter Kreeft (1937-
