Mark

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
― Marcus Aurelius

“Part of me knows that prayer is essential; another part of me would rather turn on the TV and check out. And that whole bit about being long-suffering-no way. Part of me wants to just get drunk.”
― John Eldredge, Waking the Dead: The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive

“The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness. Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.”
― Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger), The Spirit of the Liturgy

“Truth is not determined by a majority vote.”
― Pope Benedict XVI
