“The apostles and their successors are God's vicars in governing the Church which is built on faith and the sacraments of faith. Wherefore, just as they may not institute another Church, so neither may they deliver another faith, nor institute other sacraments.” MayChurchPowerfulBuiltCatholicSacramentsGoverningApostlesInstituteSuccessorsVicars Book:Summa Theologica, Volume 4 (Part III, First Section) Source: Summa Theologica, Volume 4 (Part III, First Section)
“There is a time when every person who encounters Jesus, who believes Jesus is the Son of God, decides that they will spend their life following Him. Some people, like the Apostle Paul, make this decision the minute they meet Him, the minute they become a Christian. Others, like the Apostle Peter, endure years of half-hearted commitment and spiritual confusion before leaping in with all their passion. Still others may enjoy some benefits of God's love and grace without entering into the true joy of a marriage with their maker.” PeopleYearsBelieveMayPersonsStillsChristianSpiritualJoyPassionJesusEnjoyDecisionHalfGraceMinutesSonBenefitsCommitmentEndureFollowingConfusionEncountersMakersPeterEnteringHeartedApostlesGod's LoveTrue JoyApostle PaulHalf Hearted Book:Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God Source: Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God
