The Christ of Bethlehem is the Christ of Galilee, is the Christ of the Crucifixion, is the Christ of the Resurrection, is the Christ of the Eucharist
If ever the Divine appeared on earth, it was in the person of Christ.
Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you must go and sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody. . . it is never too small, for this is our love of Christ in action
The thing about you Christians, is that you are so unlike your Christ.
Christianity is Christ!
Embrace in one act the two truths-thine own sin, and God's infinite mercy in Jesus Christ.
Charity is the pure love of Christ. Let's bring it down for us lay folk to understand. Selflessness, patience. . . . a great definition. . . Charity: The ability to love the sinner and hate the sin.
The evidence of Jesus Christ is lives changed.
If you find your sustenance in Christ, my dear young people, and if you live profoundly in him as did the Apostle Paul, you will not be able to resist speaking about him and making him known and loved by many of your friends and contemporaries.
Somehow you've come past the realm of just knowing about this Person called Jesus Christ and He is real to you.
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
At the conscious approach of death, faith in the Biblical Religion, with its God and Christ and written Revelation, never weakens, but almost or quite always strengthens, and very often advances to a splendid assurance; while unbelief under the same circumstances never strengthens, but almost or quite always weakens and falters, and very often fails utterly.
Worship demands the far distances of God; it protests against the little, the near, the material. It must love but it must look up. It cannot live without the note of spirituality and universality, if not mystery. The ascension, the passing of Christ within the veil, answers this need. So does a full-robed Christianity add to definiteness of knowledge the outreach of imagination and home.
I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through Jesus Christ I'm more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.
Christ is risen from the dead!
Anyone who has discovered Christ must lead others to him. A great joy cannot be kept to oneself. It has to be passed on.
The only reason Christ submitted himself to the horrendous experience of bearing the sins of the entire world is because his death provided the only way for reconciliation with God.
But isn't it wrong to be motivated by reward? No, it isn't. If it were wrong, Christ wouldn't offer it to us a motivation.
All men are brothered in Jesus Christ.
My identity is in Christ, not in basketball.
