Quote by Alvin Kimel

“Universal salvation is therefore not embraced here as a conclusion reached at the end of a syllogism, but as the eschatological form of the gospel itself, flowing from God's Trinitarian identity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and sealed in Christ's Paschal victory over sin and death. It is a truth to be proclaimed and contemplated in faith, yet its deepest confirmation does not occur chiefly in theological debate. Rather, it is disclosed through the Church's lived encounter with God in Christ-through narrative and sacrament; charity, beauty, and prayer; praise and doxology— where the reality of God's inexhaustible love is not merely affirmed, but known. (Joy Beyond All Worlds, xvi)”

“We must live a life that is not geared towards living today but our existence after existing and exiting the earth. We must think of our footprints that will long exist after our existence come to its ebb. We must get reasons for existing. For what reasons are you existing?”

“When we die the only judge we have is ourselves. We see our life played out in a hologram of knowledge that our earth souls cannot understand. We see all at once how each word and each action affected the lives of the people around us. How a moment of kindness can change a life and a sharp word can affect someone for ever. Words and actions are far more powerful than we realise. It's the pebble-in-the-lake effect-even the tiniest pebble thrown into water will create ripples right across the lake. We don't need to be punished because, when we have viewed the consequences of our actions on all the souls we have met, we have remorse enough. I believe there is no external judge. We must face ourselves.”

“Primitive humans could not comprehend the vastness of infinity and eternity, so as a trick of self-preservation they came up with the perception of survival of the soul after death and its recurring incarnations.”
