“Sacred scripture wishes simply to declare that the world was created by God, and in order to teach this truth it expressed itself in terms of the cosmology in use at the time of the writer. Any other teaching about the origin and makeup of the universe is so alien to the intentions of the Bible, which does not wish to teach how heaven was made but how one goes to heaven.” WorldDoeMadeUseOrderUniverseHeavenWishTermTeachTeachingSacredIntentionScriptureAliensMakeupCosmologySacred Scripture Author:Pope John Paul II
“When in our days Religion is made a political engine, she exposes herself to having her sacred character forgotten. The most tolerant become intolerant towards her.

“Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable. It would be a mistake to say that happiness necessarily springs from the absurd discovery. It happens as well that the felling of the absurd springs from happiness. "I conclude that all is well," says Oedipus, and that remark is sacred. It echoes in the wild and limited universe of man. It teaches that all is not, has not been, exhausted. It drives out of this world a god who had come into it with dissatisfaction and a preference for futile suffering. It makes of fate a human matter, which must be settled among men.” MenWorldHumansWellsTwoMatterHappensWould BeEarthHappinessSufferingUniverseMistakeTeachFateThis WorldSonSpringDiscoverySacredAbsurdEchoesExhaustedPreferenceRemarksInseparableDissatisfactionMyth Of Sisyphus Author:Albert Camus

“Not since the days of the Hitler Youth have young people been subjected to more propaganda on more politically correct issues. At one time, educators boasted that their role was not to teach students what to think but how to think.

“Marilla felt more embarrassed than ever. She had intended to teach Anne the childish classic, "Now I lay me down to sleep." But she had, as I have told you, the glimmerings of a sense of humor--which is simply another name for a sense of the fitness of things; and it suddenly occurred to her that simple little prayer, sacred to the white-robed childhood lisping at motherly knees, was entirely unsuited to this freckled witch of a girl who knew and cared nothing about God's love, since she had never had it translated to her through the medium of human love.” HumansLittlesGirlNamesFeltPrayerSleepSimpleWhiteTeachChildhoodSacredLaysMediumsKneesClassicSense Of HumorWitchEmbarrassedGod's LoveHuman LoveMotherly Book:Anne of Green Gables Collection: Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, and More Anne Shirley Books Source: Anne of Green Gables Collection: Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, and More Anne Shirley Books
“I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, 'Why?' Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens.

“[We need not think] that there is any Contradiction, when Philosophy teaches that to be done by Nature; which Religion, and the Sacred Scriptures, teach us to be done by God: no more, than to say, That the balance of a Watch is moved by the next Wheel, is to deny that Wheel, and the rest, to be moved by the Spring; and that both the Spring, and all the other Parts, are caused to move together by the Maker of them. So God may be truly the Cause of This Effect, although a Thousand other Causes should be supposed to intervene: For all Nature is as one Great Engine, made by, and held in His Hand.” ThinkingNeedsShouldMayMadeDonePhilosophyGodHandsTogetherMovingScienceNextCausesWatchesTeachEffectsBalanceThousandSpringSacredMovedPlantDenyScriptureWheelsContradictionMakersEnginesSacred Scripture Author:Nehemiah Grew

Each missionary who goes forth in response to a sacred call becomes a servant of the Lord whose work this truly is. Do not fear, young men, for He will be with you. He never fails.
