“Jesus' favorite speech form, the parable, was subversive. Parables sound absolutely ordinary: casual stories about soil and seeds, meals and coins and sheep, bandits and victims, farmers and merchants. And they are wholly secular: of his forty or so parables recorded in the Gospels, only one has its setting in church, and only a couple mention the name God. As people heard Jesus tell these stories, they saw at once that they weren't about God, so there was nothing in them threatening their own sovereignty. They relaxed their defenses. They walked away perplexed, wondering what they meant, the stories lodged in their imagination. And then, like a time bomb, they would explode in their unprotected hearts. An abyss opened up at their very feet. He was talking about God; they had been invaded!” ~ Eugene H. Peterson

“One touch of Christ is worth a lifetime of struggling.” – A.B. Simpson

“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely. … He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.” ― Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.” ~ Max Lucado

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts” ~ A.W. Tozer

"If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach." -Dr. William Barclay-

"Contentment is the product of a heart resting in God. It is the soul's enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding. It is the outcome of my will being brought into subjection to the Divine will. It is the blessed assurance that God does all things well, and is, even now, making all things work together for my ultimate good." -Arthur W. Pink

I experience that at Mass especially!

"Real prayer is communion with God, so that there will be common thoughts between His mind and ours. What is needed is for Him to fill our hearts with His thoughts, and then His desires will become our desires flowing back to Him." -A. W. Pink

At-one-ment

"People often get upset when you teach them what is in the Bible rather than what they presume is in the Bible." ~N. T. Wright

"You become like what you worship. When you gaze in awe, admiration, and wonder at something or someone, you begin to take on something of the character of the object of your worship." ~N. T. Wright

Like the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Now imagine if you also eat and drink Whom you worship.

Come to Mass.

"The one thing that the Bible emphasizes more than us loving God and people is that God loves us. He loves us first and most. God isn't in heaven plucking a daisy saying, I love you when you obey and I love you not when you sin." -Brian Mavis-

"Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion." -Brennan Manning

"The wisdom of the chess player is displayed more in winning over a capable opponent than a novice. The wisdom of the general is displayed more in defeating a superior army than in subduing an inferior one. Even more so, the wisdom of God is displayed when He brings good to us and glory to Himself out of confusion and calamity rather than out of pleasant times" - Jerry Bridges

"The wisdom of God becomes active when a person out of the fear for the Lord throws himself completely into God." - Sunday Adelaja

"Justification by faith is an immediate response by God to believing faith. Being made the righteousness of God in Him is a work in progress." ~D.E. Johnson
