“An inexhaustible capacity to engage in sin is what makes human beings capable of living a virtuous life. To err is human; to seek penance is humankind’s unique act of salvation. Whenever a person fails, it is often their overwhelming sense of anguish that drives them forward to make a second attempt that is far more bighearted than they originally envisioned. The need for redemption drives us to try again despite our backside enduring the terrible weight of our greatest catastrophes. There is no person as magnanimous as a person whom finally encountered tremendous success after previously enduring a tear-filled trail of hardships and repeated setbacks. In an effort to redeem our lost dignity, in an effort to regain self-respect, we find our true selves. By working independently to better ourselves and struggling to fulfill our cherished values, we save ourselves while coincidentally uplifting all of humanity.”

“If I wanted, I could come up with reasons to be angry with everyone I know; there are sins of commission or omission I could hang on every last person in my life… The truth is, I will never run out of people to indict. We are all guilty of so many failures to love well that if I wanted--and sometimes I do want--I could find some fault or transgression in everyone I know that I could then use to justify writing them off. I could blaze that trail to hell if I wanted to, and just the thought of it scares me off”

“Siku ya kwanza dhambi ya kwanza ilipotendwa Mungu alitoa kafara ya kwanza ya wanyama kwa ajili ya wazazi wetu wa kwanza Adamu na Hawa. Adamu na Hawa walikuwa uchi, baada ya kutenda dhambi, Mungu akawalaani lakini akawapa uwezo wa muda mfupi wa kutubu dhambi zao ili awasamehe! Kutokana na ngozi za wanyama hao walipata mavazi na kutokana na damu ya wanyama hao walipata fursa ya kuishi na kutubu dhambi zote walizozitenda. Bila hivyo wasingepata muda wa kusamehewa.”

“Kama damu haina maana kwa nini Mungu anaipenda? Kama damu haina maana kwa nini Shetani anaipenda? Mungu ni roho, Shetani ni roho, lakini damu ni kitu kinachoonekana kwa macho. Kwa nini damu ni kitu cha muhimu kiasi hicho kwa Mungu na kwa Shetani pia? Damu ni pato la ziada la ufunuo wa kiroho. Yaani, damu ni sehemu ya ulimwengu wa roho. Mungu ndiye aliyetengeneza damu kwa malengo anayoyajua yeye mwenyewe, hata Shetani hajui kwa asilimia mia umuhimu wa damu katika ulimwengu unaoonekana na katika ulimwengu usioonekana. Damu ina uwezo wa kuzuia mapepo kutoka kuzimu yasiharibu mipango ya maisha ya watu na ina uwezo wa kuondoa dhambi. Kafara ya damu inapotolewa inaimarisha uhusiano kati ya mtu na ulimwengu wa roho. Roho unayoitolea kafara inasikiliza shida zako papo hapo na kila unachoomba aghlabu kinatekelezwa. Ukitoa kafara kwa ajili ya Shetani, Shetani atasikiliza shida zako. Ukitoa kafara kwa ajili ya Mungu, Mungu atasikiliza shida zako. Tatizo kubwa la mwanadamu ni dhambi! Jibu la tatizo hilo ni damu ya Yesu Kristo.”
