“Every time that a man has, with a pure heart, called upon Osiris, Dionysus, Buddha, the Tao, etc., the Son of God has answered him by sending the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has acted upon his soul, not by inciting him to abandon his religious tradition, but by bestowing upon him light. It is, therefore, useless to send out missions to prevail upon the peoples of Asia, Africa or Oceania to enter the Church.” MenHeartSoulLightSpiritChurchReligiousSonHolyPureTraditionMissionsUselessHoly SpiritEtcAbandonAsiaTaoPure HeartReligious TraditionsDionysusOsirisOceania Author:Simone Weil

“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.

“Many friends have expressed concern that a religious fanatic will try to kill me when I go to Africa. After all, I’ll be speaking out against a crime many fundamentalists consider a holy practice. I’m sure my work will be dangerous, and I admit to being scared…. But my faith tells me to be strong, that God led me down this path for a reason. He has work for me to do. This is my mission. And I believe that long before the day I was born, God chose the day I will die, so I can’t change that. In the meantime, I might as well take a chance, because that’s what I’ve done all my life.” TryingBelieveWellsLongI CanReasonDoneMightDiesStrongI BelieveBornReligiousChancePracticePathDangerousCrimeHolyConcernScaredMissionsKill MeTake A ChanceFanaticsCan't ChangeMany FriendsSpeaking OutBeing ScaredReligious Fanatics Author:Waris Dirie
