Christianity: A Short Course

                                                   Christianity: A Short Course

C.S. Lewis observed, “I think all Christians would agree with me if I said that though Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things . . . Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light."  [Mere Christianity, p. 149]

 

St. John of the Cross wrote, "God does not fit in an occupied heart."  St. Francis de Sales said, "Even the most insignificant actions are great and excellent when they are performed with a pure intention and fervent desire to please God." 

St. Brendan the Navigator reminded us to “…Tune [our] spirit to the music of heaven ….” 

When we do that, each action we perform and each word we utter will give honor to God.  We will share God’s light with the world, and then the darkness shall be no more.

St. Joseph pray for us. 

St. Francis de Sales pray for us. 

May God Be Praised.
