"If you wish to be brothers, let the arms fall from your hands. One cannot love while holding offensive arms."

Pius VI quotes and words of wisdom

 

[Paul W.]

I wish, brothers and sisters, that we could all imitate "the pearl oyster"â€â€A hurtful particle intrudes itself into its shell, and this vexes and grieves it. It cannot reject the evil, but what does it do but "cover" it with a precious substance extracted out of its own life, by which it turns the intruder into a pearl! Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from our fellow Christians, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which otherwise would have harmed us.
â€â€Charles Spurgeon












May the love and peace of Jesus Christ be yours,

Paul W.

 

[Paul W.]

"Many a wicked man is big and full of corruption, but shows it not for want of occasion; but that man is surely good who in his course will not be bad, though tempted by occasions. A Christless soul is so far from refusing occasions when they come in his way, that he looks and longs after them, and rather than he will go without them he will buy them, not only with love or money, but also with the loss of his soul. Nothing but grace can fence a man against the occasions of sin, when he is strongly tempted thereunto. Therefore, as you would cherish a precious evidence in your own bosoms of the truth and strength of your graces, shun all sinful occasions." -Thomas Brooks
