“When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.” MayChristWalksLordCrossesPriestsDisciplePopeWorldlyBishopsCardinals Author:Pope Francis
“It is true that every day has its own evil, and its good too. But how difficult must life be, especially farther on when the evil of each day increases as far as worldly things go, if it is not strengthened and comforted by faith. And in Christ all worldly things may become better, and, as it were, sanctified. Theo, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel; if I did not aim at that and possess faith and hope in Christ, it would be bad for me indeed, but no I have some courage.” IfsMayWould BeLife IsEvilDifficultChristIncreaseAimEach DayWoeWorldlyHope And FaithWorldly ThingsWoe Is MeHope In Christ Author:Vincent Van Gogh
“In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.” WholeJesusChristSinWalksLove IsBehindsKindnessDisciplinePerceptionEmbraceMaturityGuidanceWorldlyHis LoveScopeBe Encouraged Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“You will live to see men arise in power in the Church who will seek to put down your friends and the friends of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

“ONLY in the release of the seen do you lay hold on the unseen, My little one. Heaven waits for those who are no longer bound to earth. The degree to which bondages are exchanged for liberties while still in the flesh is in proportion to the extent to which eternal values are held in higher esteem that worldly success and possessions. If a man loves Me, he will hold his soul more precious than his body and will pursue holiness at the expense of wealth; for to follow after that which perishes is to forfeit the prize of the high calling in Christ.” IfsMenLittlesStillsSoulBodyEarthValuesHeavenWaitingChristWealthLibertyHigherCallingDegreesEternalLaysBoundsPossessionFleshEsteemPursueReleaseProportionHolinessPrizeExpensesUnseenWorldlyBondageForfeit Author:Frances J Roberts
