How to Receive Christ

St. Jerome (347-420 A.D.):   ____________________

“Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”

 

“When we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us.”

 

“Instead of speaking saintly words, we must act them.”

 

“Be at peace with your own soul, then heaven and earth will be at peace with you.”

 

“Begin now to be what you will be hereafter.”  _____________________ 

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963):  ____________________

“Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself.

 

He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on.  

There is no other.

 

That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion.

 

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.”                    _____________________
