Favorite Verses & Quotes...

"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
——2 Philippians 5-11 (Ignatius, RSV)

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd."
——Flannery O'Connor

"Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable."
——Gilbert Keith Chesterton

"The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between."
——Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

"[In the apse of the Cathedral of Cefalù] the great subject is Christ in Judgment, the Heroic Face that dominates all the nave from above. He holds in His right hand the Open Book of record, His left is raised for acquittal or sentence .... [The nave contains] the noblest motto yet found for the Judge and Redeemer and Brother of mankind ... Factus homo factor hominis factique redemptor / Judico corporeus corpora corda Deus ... And it means, "I, having been made man, and being the Maker of Man, and the Redeemer of what I made, judge in bodily form the bodies and the hearts of man: for I am God."
