Quotes

"Brother Lawrence wasn't surprised by the amount of sin and unhappiness in the world. Rather, he wondered why there wasn't more, considering the extremes to which the enemy was capable of going. He said he prayed about it, but because he knew God could rectify the situation in a moment if He willed it, he didn't allow himself to become greatly concerned." -Excerpt from "The Practice of the Presence of God"

...."That's because Mary is indispensable to the plan of salvation that God implemented on earth; she is the Mother of Jesus of Nazareth, so, without her, there would be no Jesus of Nazareth. Repudiating Mary is repudiating Jesus, and with him the whole plan of salvation-which is why the heresies that repudiate Mary always substitute some fundamentally rearranged scheme of how people attain salvation. They have to. Without Mary, Christ's coming, teaching, suffering, and rising just couldn't have happened as they did. " -Excerpt from "Rosary-Mysteries, Meditations, and the Telling of the Beads," by Kevin Orlin Johnson, Ph.D. (This books is AMAZING! It says it's about the Rosary, but it is so much more than that. Every Christian should read this book!!)
