Quotes by Joseph F. Girzone  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If you want to have peace of soul, learn to forgive. Jesus' secret was His ability to see into people's hearts. Seeing their anguish and pain helped Him to understand their nastiness. So He could pity them rather than become angry with them. That is what we have to do: try to understand the pain in people's lives...and not take personally what they do to us.”
Joseph F. Girzone, My Struggle with Faith

“I learned that I was never alone, that there was Someone always very close by and, indeed, within me, giving me strength in times of weakness and desolation, light in times of darkness, joy in times of great sorrow and pain, and the will to struggle on when continuing seemed futile.”
Joseph F. Girzone, My Struggle with Faith

“I think most decent people would be horrified at what happens today, even in our enlightened country. There are still mean, self-righteous Pharisees, who have a sick need to punish others whose troubled lives they can never begin to understand, much less feel compassion for.”
Joseph F. Girzone, The Homeless Bishop
