grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

~Author Unknown
If you ask me how I believe in God, how God creates
Himself in me, and reveals Himself to me, my answer may
perhaps provoke your smiles or laughter, and even scandalize you.
I believe in god as I believe in my friends, because I feel the
breath of His affection, feel His invisible and intangible
hand drawing me, leading me, grasping me.
Miguel De UnaAmuno

By faith we are convinced that our impressions of
things without are not dreams or delusions, but,
for us, true representations of our environment.
By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence,
order, progress, which we observe in nature are true.
By faith we are convinced that fellowship is
possible with our fellow man and with God.
B.F Westcott
Now faith is the evidence of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.

our knowledge.

It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from
uplifting himself to God, requires that God shall
lower himself to him, and who resorts to prayers
not to stir the man in us to will what God wills,
but only to persuade God to will what the man
in us will.
Saint Thomas Aquinas
"If I hadn't believed it, I wouldn't have seen it."

back into my body. There was no other way to
describe it. Suddenly, I was there, looking up at a
doctor."
