“The salient mystery of Dark Ages sets the stage for mass amnesia. People living in vigorous cultures typically treasure those cultures and resist any threat to them. How and why can a people so totally discard a formerly vital culture that it becomes vitally lost?” PeopleAgeCultureLostDarkMysteryStageMassThreatTreasureDark AgesVigorousAmnesia Author:Jane Jacobs
“To me the gospel is not a great mass of theological jargon. It is a simple and beautiful and logical thing, with one quiet truth following another in orderly sequence. I do not fret over the mysteries. I do not worry whether the heavenly gates swing or slide. I am only concerned that they open.” BeautifulSimpleWorryMysteryQuietMassConcernedFollowingHeavenlyLogicalGatesSwingsSequenceSlidesTheologicalOrderlyJargonSimple And Beautiful Author:Gordon B.

“There were positive things about the church, that is, in the European cultural sense, the architecture, the liturgy, the music, the art, such as it was, the stations of the cross in the church, the tradition, and the atmosphere of awe and mystery in the mass. The atmosphere of miracle, one of mainly mystery, that's what fascinates me.” ArtChurchMysteryMassTraditionCrossesMiracleArchitectureAtmosphereAweStationsPositive ThingsLiturgy Author:Frank McCourt

“There are thousands of proteins in the cells, some of them very large chains of molecules. And the cell doesn't function if one of those chains of molecules isn't there, and you start looking at the complexity of life and the mystery of life, and then start thinking about things like the twenty universal constants, that if any one of them from Plank's minimum to the mass of a proton, if one of them is the tiniest bit off, there would be no life or possibility of it in the universe.” IfsThinkingWould BeUniverseBitsMysteryPossibilityMassUniversalFunctionTwentiesChainsCellsComplexityMinimumMoleculesProteinMystery Of LifeProton Author:Dean Koontz
“It's a beautiful religion and I wish I understood it more. No, I don't want to understand it all. It's beautiful because it's always a mystery. Sometimes I say I don't believe in God and Jesus and Mary. I'm a bad Catholic because I miss mass once in a while and I grumble when, at confession, I get a heavy penance for something I couldn't help doing. But good or bad, I am a Catholic and I'll never be anything else. Of course, I didn't ask to be born Catholic, no more than I asked to be born American. But I'm glad it turned out that I'm both these things.” WantBelieveSometimesHelpingBeautifulCoursesAsksJesusWishBornMysteryMissingMassUnderstoodCatholicDon't BelieveHeavyGladBelieve In GodMaryConfessionPenance Author:Betty Smith
