“Growing up, Catholic church really was such an incubator for my imagination, because all of those mysteries felt embedded in this insanely green, tropical landscape: the ocean nearby, the giant banyan trees.

“I was raised a Catholic, but with very liberal parents, so I had to find my spirituality. I've been looking for it since I was a child. I would find it in pieces of art, music, flowers, trees. Now I've come full circle finding God in clouds, flowers, and trees.” ChildrenArtSpiritualityParentPiecesTreeFlowerFindingsCatholicRaisedCloudsCirclesArt MusicFull CircleFinding God Author:Sandra Cisneros
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” NeedsSoulGodAbleMovingFallFoundStarsGrowsNatureSilenceSunTreeFlowerMoonCatholicSilentSensesNoiseGrassSunshineSilence IsNunRestlessnessFamous WomenNature BeautyGod LifeNature And BeautySpitefulGod And NatureNeed GodMoon And StarsNature's BeautyMother FlowerFinding GodGod NatureSun And StarsSun Moon And StarsSilence Of The HeartSounds Of SilenceGod's BeautyMoon And SunSun GodThe Moon And BackI Need God Author:Mother Teresa

“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance.” KnowsBelieveJesusI BelieveChurchChanceTreeMajorsBaseballCatholicI Believe InInstanceHittingMinorsMushroomsBaseball GamesBeadsRosaryFunny BaseballStitchesBrahmaGreat BaseballDuncanBaseball HittingBaseball CoachDurhamVishnu Author:Ron Shelton

“The old Catholic church traditions are worth more than all you have said. Here is a principle of logic that most men have no more sense than to adopt. I will illustrate it by an old apple tree. Here jumps off a branch and says, I am the true tree, and you are corrupt. If the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt? If the Catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it? If the Catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it?” IfsMenSaidWholeChurchPrinciplesTreeTraditionLogicCatholicGood ThingsApplesBranchesCatholicismCatholic ChurchTrue ReligionApple TreesCatholic Religion Author:Joseph Smith, Jr.
“I doubt if anyone of any tenderness or imagination can see the hand of a child and not be a little frightened of it. It is awful to think of the essential human energy moving so tiny a thing; it is like imagining that human nature could live in the wing of a butterfly or the leaf of a tree. When we look upon lives so human and yet so small... We feel the same kind of obligation to these creatures that a deity might feel...” IfsThinkingFeelsHumansLooksKindChildrenLittlesHandsMightMovingEnergyImaginationDoubtTreeHuman NatureCreaturesEssentialsCatholicWingsTinyObligationAwfulLook UpFrightenedButterflyTendernessLeafs Author:Gilbert K.
