Alphonsus Liguori

My Jesus! What a lovable contrivance this holy Sacrament was - that You would hide under the appearance of bread to make Yourself loved and to be available for a visit by anyone who desires You!

Alphonsus Liguori

He who wishes to find Jesus should seek Him, not in the delights and pleasures of the world, but in mortification of the senses.

Alphonsus Liguori

There is nothing more pleasing to God, than to see a soul who patiently and serenely bears whatever crosses it is sent; this is how love is made, by putting lover and loved one on the same level. . . A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised and humiliated.

Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us.

Alphonsus Liguori

Before the coming of Jesus Christ, men fled away from God and, being attached to the earth, refused to unite themselves to their Creator. But the loving God has drawn them to Himself by the bonds of love, as He promised by the prophet Osee [Hosea]: "I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bonds of love" (11:4). These bonds are the benefits, the lights, the calls to His love, the promises of Paradise which He makes to us, but above all, the gift which He has bestowed upon us of Jesus Christ in the Sacrifice of the Cross and in the Sacrament of the Altar...

"Happy he that knows Thee, even if he knows nothing else," says St. Augustine.

But if we know how to love Jesus Christ, we shall know all things, and shall be happy for eternity.

Love tends to union with the object loved. Now Jesus Christ loves a soul that is in a state of grace with immense love; He ardently desires to unite Himself with it. That is what Holy Communion does

Angelus Silesius

The name of Jesus is as ointment poured forth; It nourishes, and illumines, and stills the anguish of the soul.

Angelina Grimke

Measure her rights and duties by the unerring standard of moral being… and then the truth will be self-evident, that whatever it is morally right for a man to do, it is morally right for a woman to do. I recognize no rights but human rights – I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights; for in Christ Jesus, there is neither male nor female. It is my solemn conviction, that, until this principle of equality is recognised and embodied in practice, the Church can do nothing effectual for the permanent reformation of the world.

Chynna Phillips

Sorry, Jesus, I have to curse!

Chuck Smith

Look, don't judge Christianity by the imperfect examples that we have seen in history. Judge it by Jesus Christ.

Chuck Norris

If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood.

Andrew Greeley

I don't think Jesus was an exclusivist. He said, and we believe, that He is the unique representation of God in the world. But that doesn't mean this is the only way God can work.

Truth is one, though the sages know it as many . God is one, though different religions approach Him differently Call Him Shiva, Vishnu, Allah, Jesus or any other form of God that you believe in . Our paths may be different. Our destination is the same.

Anthony Bourdain

I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, 'Jesus, I'm glad that's not me.'

Andy Stanley

Just as Jesus predicted, what originates in the secret place won't always remain a secret. ... How do we guard -- or maybe it would be more appropriate to say, guard against -- our hearts? How do we monitor what's going on in that secret place that has the potential to go public at any moment?

Andy Stanley

Andy Stanley

Serving people we don't see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity. Jesus died for a world with which he didn't see eye to eye. If a bakery doesn't want to sell its products to a gay couple, it's their business. Literally. But leave Jesus out of it.

Andy Stanley

Being a sinner does not disqualify you from following Jesus. It's a prerequisite.

Andy Stanley

Jesus did not predict a place. Jesus predicted a people.

Andy Stanley

Jesus never allowed His theology to get in the way of His ministry.

Andy Stanley

As a leader it is your job to protect the missional integrity of the Jesus gathering to which you have been called. It is your responsibility to see to it that the church under your care continues as a gathering of people in process; a place where the curious, the unconvinced, the skeptical, the used-to-believe and the broken, as well as the committed, informed and sold-out come together around Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Andy Stanley

Jesus is the hope of the world and the local church is the vehicle of expressing that hope to the world.

Kevin Hart

There seems to be something poetically that doesn't work or is limiting when you call God 'God' in a poem. When I tried to be honest with myself in my relationship with God, Christ is, on the one hand, completely dark, he's transcendent and unknown. On the other hand, he is completely imminent and completely knowable as Jesus. Our tradition speaks of him in both ways as transcendent but also as a lover who comes to us, and the two word 'Dark One' seem to me to contain both things, the transcendence and otherness of Christ, but also like a kind of dark lover who comes to us.

He hugged me and said, 'I don't have any money to give you,' ... I said, 'Don't worry about that. Jesus loves you, and I love you.'

Jesus was humble when He walked this earth. He had all power, yet used all meekness.
