In Christ, GreyBear Quote: Many years ago, Matthew Henry, a well-known Bible scholar, was once robbed of his wallet. Knowing that it was his duty to give thanks in everything, he meditated on this incident and recorded in his diary the following: Let me be thankful, first, because he never robbed me before; second, because although he took my purse, he did not take my life; third, because although he took all I possessed, it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed. Matthew Henry (1662-1714) English Non-conformist Bible commentator permalink   Posted: 01/20/2006 07:24am - Total Views: 24,633 - Category: Inspirational   View: Backlinks Similar Blog Entries:   What to do with Fallen Christian Leaders,  Lookin forward to great Christian fellowship....,  Running: A Great Metaphor For Christian Life,  great christian novels...,  Christian Magazines,  Blog Tags:   christians,  leaders,  leaders,  quotable,  quotes,  wisdom,

And so, I thought, the Anvil of God's Word For ages sceptic blows have beat upon; Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard, The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone.

	Posted by:  catholicchristian  (Posted: 08/27/2007 6:24am) permalink Peace is simply not the absence of war. It begins in the heart of every person created in the image of God, when there is a recognition that human life is sacred and that it must be respected. The truth of being human is the inherent and inalienable dignity and worth of each and every person without exception. Where there is no concrete expression of this fundmantal truth, an authentic culture of peace is impossible. Human problems such as poverty, disease, the culture of death that supports abortion, euthanasia, and other forms of human violence and destruction, including war and armed conflict, are stark reminders that we have yet to acknowledge as a human family the truth about ourselves ... ... ... ... ... ... ...- Msgr.

Nothing divides them either in flesh or in spirit . . . They pray together, they worship together, they fast together; instructing one another, encouraging one another, strengthening one another. Side by side they visit God's church and partake God's banquet, side by side they face difficulties and persecution, share their consolations. They have no secrets from one another; they never shun each other's company; they never bring sorrow to each other's hearts . . . Seeing this Christ rejoices. To such as these He gives His peace. Where there are two together, there also He is present." Quintus Septimius Florente Tertullianus (c. 160 - c. 225)
