Quote by Pope Francis

“Mercy will always be greater than any sin, no one can put a limit on the love of the all-forgiving God. Just by looking at him, just raising our eyes from ourselves and our wounds, we leave an opening for the action of his grace. Jesus performs miracles with our sins, with what we are, with our nothingness, with our wretchedness.”

Quote by Pope Francis

“At holde Stand udi slige Fristelser er en Qvalitet, som nærmer sig til Heroismum; hvorudover de, som udi store Smerter og Gienvordigheder lade Modet falde, kand heller ansees, som skrøbelige og ufuldkomne end som rebelske Undersaatter, der forskylde ævig Straf, og der have giort sig uværdige til all Naade.
