“The Lord does not require us to wear a [cassock] — He wants us to be good and kind.”
“If the Good Lord made a mistake in us people it was in making us want to live when we’ve got the least excuse for it.”
“Shrouded in his red cassock, he padded off to the bathroom lost in the silent ecstasy or wearing new socks.”
“Never does our good God leave us save to hold us better; never does He let go of us save to keep us better; never does He wrestle with us save to give Himself up to us and to bless us.”
“What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8”
“Hardships are the Lord's greatest blessings to the believer. Without them we would love the Lord only for what He does for us. Our troubles teach us to love Him for who He is." Sister Norton in "The Preacher's Bride”
