God Quotes
-
Looking back, the way I see it, there was something slightly deluded about my belief - what that meant to me - but with that delusion came of lot of happiness.

That's what I believed, and that makes life pretty sweet. I do miss it.

Dying visions of angels and Christ and God and heaven are confined to credibly good men. Why do not bad men have such visions?

Remember, too, every day, and whenever you can, repeat to yourself, Lord, have mercy on all who appear before Thee today.

If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers.

How wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed further and further back (and that is bound to be the case), then God is being pushed back with them, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don’t know.
