“Some Christians base their identity on being a sinner. I think they have it wrong—or only half right. You are not simply a sinner; you are a deeply loved sinner. And there is all the difference in the world between the two.”
― David G. Benner, The Gift of Being Yourself: The Sacred Call to Self-Discovery

“But I am telling you: I would prefer a thousand times over a bruised Church to an ill Church!”
― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy: A Vision for the Church

“Every Christian is to become a little Christ. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“A pastoral presence means walking with the People of God, walking in front of them, showing them the way, showing them the path; walking in their midst, to strengthen them in unity; walking behind them, to make sure no one gets left behind, but especially, never to lose the scent of the People of God in order to find new roads.”
― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy: A Vision for the Church
