Finding some quotes? Well here is quotes with an explanation for each quote. We hope you may reflect or find inspiration on the quotes.
I see the church as a field hospital after battle, it is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugar. you have to heal his wounds then we can talk about everything else.-Pope Francis
The Church or us we are here to help or heal others. When we see someone in despair or who is deeply wounded with hatred, anger and sadness, we should heal them by giving hope, faith and love. We shouldn't be going around the bush asking them certain things that may lead us to just judge them and blame them for their own actions. We should help them immediately so that when we comforted them, we can talk through it and will leave them understand action.
second quote
The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God. -C.S. Lewis
Nowadays people in church concentrate on how beautiful our church is and how beautiful people think of it but where is God in all these. I understand that we do these things so that the followers of Christ will multiply but thats not how we should do it, its in the action. The act of offering everything to God will show the loving goodness and that is the most important one because it is the reason why God called us.
A person once asked me, in a provocative manner if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: 'Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?... It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.-Pope Francis
Everyone is welcomed in the church and us the 'Church' we should not discriminate anyone God taught us to be holy which means we should be respectful. Sometimes we forget, we have so much confidence in ourselves that we act so innocent tend to feel like we're always right and blame the people we dont like. Remember this : Not everyone who has tattoos are criminals and not everyone who goes to church is holy.
"The one and only Gospel waits to be proclaimed by everyone together, in love and reciprocal esteem."
- Pope Benedict XVI, Vatican City, October 2, 2007
This quote is trying to explain that God is waiting for the day when there are no murders, no thefts, no sadness, and the like, when everyone lives together in happiness and unison, when everyone proclaims in unison that God is the Alpha and Omega, the maker of the heavens and the Earth, Jehovah, Rapha, etc. God does not only wait on the day, he wants it to happen.
Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you-Ephesians 4: 32
Why not learn to be humble? As the Church we should have eyes that will never suspect or judge but will only look for what is beautiful in our neighbor's soul. We should have ears may give heed to our neighbor's needs but not to be indifferent their pains and moaning. A tongue that will speak no negativity, hands and feet that do good deeds and are willing and a heart that is sincere.
