“In a word, the Holy Scripture is the highest and best of books, abounding in comfort under all afflictions and trials. It teaches us to see, to feel, to grasp, and to comprehend faith, hope, and charity, far otherwise than mere human reason can; and while evil oppresses us, it teaches how these virtues throw light upon the darkness, and how, after this poor, miserable existence of ours on earth, there is another and an eternal life.” FeelsHumansBookReasonLightEarthEvilPoorExistenceTeachDarknessVirtueHolyComfortEternalHighestMereCharityScriptureTrialsMiserableAfflictionEternal LifeHoly ScripturesHuman ReasonFaith HopeFaith Hope And Charity Book:The Table Talk Or Familiar Discourse of Martin Luther Source: The Table Talk Or Familiar Discourse of Martin Luther

“The Saints in Heaven through the Holy Spirit behold the glory of God and the beauty of the Lord's Countenance. But in this same Holy Spirit they see our lives too, and our deeds. They know our sorrows and hear our burning prayers. When they were living on earth they learned of the love of God from the Holy Spirit; and he who knows love on earth takes it with him into eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven, where love grows and becomes perfect. And if love makes one unable to forget a brother here, how much more must the Saints remember and pray for us!” IfsKnowsEarthRememberSpiritHeavenGrowsPrayerPerfectForgetLordOur LivesBrotherPrayingSorrowHolyEternalGlorySaintDeedsKingdomsBurningGod LoveHoly SpiritEternal LifeLiving OnGlory Of GodCountenanceKingdom Of HeavenLove Grows Author:Silouan the Athonite
“Intellectual methods-study and reason-are essential to our progress toward eternal life, but they are not sufficient. They can prepare the way. They can get the mind ready to receive the Spirit.
