Trespasses Quotes

“We are not called to fight the battles of our fathers with a blind faith. We are called to examine their wars, and moreover, to discern whether their actions were sinful or just.

We are not bonded to our fathers' fate, but rather called to build on their trespasses or triumphs for a better future.”
― Cristina Marrero
