“It happens then that God may be approached; that we may ask of him, but if we do ask of him we must ask in Faith. We must believe. If we do not believe we will not obtain. This principle of faith seems to be the means of approaching the Almighty.”
“For desired conclusions, we ask ourselves, "Can I believe this?", but for unpalatable conclusions we ask, "Must I believe this?”
“Faith that is lived from deep within amid a secularized world is the most powerful ecumenical force that brings us together, guiding us towards unity in the one Lord. And we pray to him, asking that we may learn to live the faith anew, and that in this way we may then become one”
“I believe fear of what we do not know may be the devil's best tool, meant to keep us back from those we long to approach.”
“...for the purity of first light is blissand surely the whole point of faithis just in this: -Not that we believe but that we ask of Heto have faith in us.”
“Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.”
