“A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God. He has achieved a deeper, bigger life than the rest of us, a more wonderful contact with the mysteries of the Universe; a life of infinite possibility, the term of which he never feels that he has reached.” FeelsHumansSoulUniverseTermHuman BeingsEnvironmentWonderfulMysteryPossibilityBiggerInfiniteResponseSaintDeeperContactGenerousStatureInfinite Possibilities Book:Lent With Evelyn Underhill Source: Lent With Evelyn Underhill

“We spoke to God about the children, and we were afraid to ask God for specific things. We thought that it might be too much. So we said to God 'Please give us a healthy child' and left it at that, not knowing that God is a generous God, but also has a sense of humor. And if you leave that much open for God, some wonderful jokes are going to come about.” IfsGivingChildrenSaidMightAsksLeftKnowingToo MuchWonderfulPleaseHealthyJokesGenerousSpokesSense Of HumorNot KnowingHealthy Children Author:Bill Cosby
