"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration. May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest. Your Heavenly Domain approaches. Let Your will come true - in the universe just as on earth. Give us wisdom for our daily need, detach the fetters of faults that bind us, like we let go the guilt of others. Let us not be lost in superficial things, but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose. From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age. Sealed in trust, faith and truth."

Quotes on Christianity

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” ~ Mother Teresa

“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” ~ C.S. Lewis

“In truth,there was only one christian and he died on the cross.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” ~ Galileo Galilei

“If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be—a Christian.” ~ Mark Twain

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” ~ Hélder Câmara

“I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT.'" ~ Margaret Cho

“We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.” ~ David Platt

“If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.” ~ Fulton J. Sheen

"Many Christians treat the Bible as a user's agreement. They never read it and click 'I agree.'" ~ Unknown
