All graces given…
All graces given to those outside the Church are given them for the purpose of bringing them inside the Church.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Our life and death…
Our life and our death is with our neighbor. If we gain our brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalize our brother, we have sinned against Christ.
–Saint Anthony of Egypt (c. 251-356)
Concern with children…
With us everything should be secondary compared to our concern with children, and their upbringing in the instruction and teaching of the Lord.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Educate our children…
We are so concerned with our children’s schooling and worldly success, if only we were equally zealous in bringing them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. This then, is our task: to educate both ourselves and our children in godliness, otherwise what answer will we have before Christ’s judgement seat?
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
God is always bigger…
God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.
–Richard Rohr (1943-
Christ has no body…
Christ has no body now but yours; no hands, no feet on earth, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world; Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good; Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
