“Our vow of chastity is nothing but our undivided love for Christ in chastity, then we proceed to the freedom of poverty-poverty is nothing but freedom. And that total surrender is obedience. If I belong to God, if I belong to Christ, then he must be able to use me. That is obedience. Then we give wholehearted service to the poor. That is service. They complete each other. That is our life.” IfsGivingUseAbleReligionChristPoorPovertyOur LivesSurrenderObedienceVowChastityUsing MeUndivided Love Author:Mother Teresa
“Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.” MenSelfActionReligionHolyAimFoundationImprovementPursuitObediencePurityHolinessTemperBenevolenceObedience To God Author:Jonathan Edwards
“[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.” IfsWayTryingFirstsMeanPersonsWould BeActionCertainReligionFaithOrderCoursesHeavenChristChristianityAdviceMereRewardsSavedWorriedObedienceHave FaithTrustedNew WaysGleam Author:C.
