Famous Sierra Simone Quotes

“God is bigger than our sins. God wants you as you are—stumbling, sinning, confused. All He asks if is is love—love for Him, love for others, and love for ourselves. He asks us to lay down our lives—not to live like ascetics, devoid of pleasure or joy, but to give him our lives so that he may increase our joy and increase our love.”

“The path to God has become binary: you find God as a monastic or clergy, or you find God as a layperson. There is precious little in between. Oblation comes close but is still only one thread when there used to be an entire tapestry.”
