God Quote by Benedicta Ward — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Earthly contemplation means to the Christian, we have said, this above all: that behind all that we directly encounter the Face of the incarnate Logos becomes visible... Contemplation does not ignore the "historical Gethsemane," does not ignore the mystery of evil, guilt and its bloody atonement. The happiness of contemplation is a true happiness, indeed the supreme happiness; but it is founded upon sorrow.”

“In God's eyes, walking on water is no more miraculous than the ability of hemoglobin to bond with oxygen inside a red blood corpuscle.”

“The mathematicians are the priests of the modern world.”

“Untold stars wander through the unending depth of the cosmos. Radiant thoughts of God. They are all happy, for God wants the universe to be happy. Only there is one among them that does not share this fate. Did God forget this star? Or did he grant it the highest glory by giving it the freedom of struggling up by its own strength? We do not know.”

“I don't believe there is a God", I said fiercely, "and if there is, He's not the merciful being He's always depicted, or He wouldn't be always torturing me for His own amusement.”
