AWESOME QUOTES, PRAYERS AND BIBLE VERSES
One of the things from Catholic Answers I enjoy is learning a lot of new Bible verses, quotes and prayers. I’m going to start this thread with a verse I like. All of us take different paths to God and we have all found little treasures along the way. I hope you can share prayers, quotes, phrases and bible verses here. I will try and ad one each day. Please keep it short, if possible, and color/high-light in blue so they are easy to find.

SIRACH 2 – 2:19 / “Those who fear the Lord will seek after the things that are well pleasing to him, and those who love him will be filled with his law.”
“To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”
~ John Henry Cardinal Newman
Yours in Christ,
 
“Few people in America hate the Catholic religion, but there are many who hate what they mistakenly believe is the Catholic religion—and if what they hate really were the Catholic religion, Catholics would hate it too.”
Bishop Fulton Sheen

Ecclesiasticus 8:6 "Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof. "
 
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
 
Awesome thread! I do digital art, and am always looking for words of inspiration for artwork. I’ll definately be bookmarking this thread for ideas!

Here’s my submission:

Stella Maris (Mary, Star of the Sea)

If the winds of temptation arise;
If you are driven upon the rocks of tribulation look to the star,
call on Mary;
If you are tossed upon the waves of pride, of ambition, of envy, of rivalry, look to the star,
call on Mary.

St Bernard of Clairvaux

“And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you; let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.”

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

GK Chesterton:

“You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.”

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.

David Morrison

the church universal is a hospital for sinners far more than it is a penthouse for saints

GK Chesterton:

Its not that when people stop believing in God that they believe in nothing, its that they believe in anything.

From the fullness of life and of love in Him
we have received love upon love.
The law was given through Moses
but love and truth came through Jesus, the Messiah.
No one has ever seen God
except the only begotten Son who is in the womb of the Father.
He has made God known.
**
Or as Luc de Villers, a professor at l’Ecole Biblique de Jerusalem translates it,

The only Son of God who came to lead us into the womb of the Father.

Taken from Drawn into the Mystery of Jesus through the gospel of John by Jean Vanier.
 
Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary use words.
