Saint Augustine

"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.' Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if-- and mark well what I say-- if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins."

St. Louis de Montfort from The Secret of the Rosary.

"Sin is a rejection of love."

ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN CARDINAL RIGALI OF PHILADELPHIA

My heart has become able
to take on all forms.

It is a pasture for gazelles,
for monks, an abbey.
It is a temple for idols,
and for whoever walks around it, the Kaaba.
It is the tablets of the Torah,
and also the leaves of the Qur’an!

I believe in the religion of Love,
whatever direction its caravans may take,
for Love is my religion and my faith.

Ibn Arabi

"If God has spoken, why is the world not convinced?"
..........Percy Bysshe Shelley

...........Robert Ingersoll

"I have little confidence in any enterprise or business or investment that promises dividends only after the death of the stockholders."
...........Robert Ingersoll

"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but
rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man
is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering
for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."
Frankle

The world makes sense only when you force it to.
