Hey folks,

On my other thread, I asked about your favorite Saint and/or Father, and I got some pretty cool responses.

In this thread, I would like to ask about your favorite words from our Christian faith. You may quote from any source of Christianity, whether it is from the Scriptures, Liturgies, Saints and Fathers, Catechisms, Canons, or any other source.

Again, because our Holy Faith is a fountain and treasure chest of wisdom, there are so many great statements that we can choose from, but try your best to come up with a favorite one.

Ok, here is one of my all time favorite, from the Prophet Isaiah:

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed” (Isa. 53:5).

God bless,

Rony

“I absolve you of your sins in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!”-- Heard after making confession.👍
 
My personal favorite- “He who is.” While struggling to figure out what I believe in, I asked God who he is. A few minutes later, I open a book and BAM!!! First words I see…
 
“Time is but a shadow, a dream; already God sees us in glory and takes joy in our eternal beatitude. How this thought helps my soul! I understand then why He lets us suffer…”

What could make me love
my fellow Christian better
than to see that God loves us all
as we were all one soul?

Meditations with Julian of Norwich
 
“To love another person is to see the face of God.”
-Les Miserables
 
Abba [St] Antony [the Great] said, ‘A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, “You are mad, you are not like us.”’

“But our opinion is in accordance with the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn establishes our opinion.” - St Irenaeus*of Lyons

And let him come who would test by experience what we have now said, and in the very presence of thedeceit of demons and the imposture of oracles and the marvels of magic, let him use the Sign of thatCross which is laughed at among them, and he shall see how by its means demons fly, oracles cease, all*magic and witchcraft is brought to nought. - St Athanasius the Great

“As we often said, the holy council said that the Word himself, through whom all things were made, suffered; but suffered in his flesh, according to the Scriptures. For, because his body suffered, he himself is said to have suffered, just as also a man’s soul is said to suffer because its body suffers, although by its own nature the soul does not have pain.” - St Cyril of Alexandria, Letter 10:3

“For how will anyone divide walking upon the water? For to run upon the sea is foreign to the human nature, but it is not proper to the divine nature to use bodily feet. Therefore that action is of the incarnate Word, to whom belongs at the same time divine character and human, indivisibly.” - St Severus of Antioch
