“There is no surer mark of a low and unregenerate nature than this tendency of power to loudness and wantonness instead of quietness and reverence. To souls baptized in Christian nobleness the largest sphere of command is but a wider empire of obedience, calling them, not to escape from holy rule, but to its full impersonation.” SoulChristianPowerHolyCallingLowsMarkCommandTendenciesObedienceEmpiresSpheresReverenceQuietnessBaptizedBaptized In Author:James Martineau
“Mary has the authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven. As a reward for her great humility, God gave her the power and mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride. Such is the will of the almighty God who exalts the humble, that the powers of heaven, earth and hell, willingly or unwillingly, must obey the commands of the humble Virgin Mary.” MadeEarthChristianHeavenHellHumilityPrideHolyAuthorityAngelBlessedRewardsSaintHumbleMissionsCommandMaryAlmightyThronesVirginsAlmighty GodVacantVirgin MaryHoly Mary Author:Louis de Montfort

“Preaching the gospel without the Holy Spirit is to miss the entire point of the command of Jesus Christ for our era.

“The command is to love him, not just to think about him, or do things for him. We are not to stop with a proper legal relationship - for example, to think of a man as legally lost, which he is, in the sight of a holy God - without thinking of him as a person. Saying this, we can suddenly see that much evangelism is not only sub-Christian, but subhuman - legalistic and impersonal.” ThinkingMenPersonsGodChristianSpiritualityLostExampleHolySightCommandEvangelismHoly GodThinking Of Him Book:True Spirituality Source: True Spirituality
