Alex EbertAs the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth.

Heinrich HeineGod endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.

Thomas WatsonLet us serve Him faithfully as our Master. Let us obey Him loyally as our King. Let us study His teachings as our Prophet. Let us work diligently after Him as our Example.

Let His blood be more precious in our eyes every year we live. Whatever else we glory in about Christ, let us glory above all things in His cross.

Henry Ward BeecherAnd what do the Theban hoplites see in this extended rending of the sky, this white-bright glory of Enlil's lightning?

Janet MorrisIt is in the dark that God is passing by. The bridge and our lives shake not because God has abandoned, but the exact opposite: God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can't see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us.

And when this throne is yielded to the Almighty God, a man enters upon the sacred path of greatness right then and there...The destiny of a human soul depends entirely on who sits upon the throne of that soul...when the flesh is removed from its position of power, the human soul is made ready to usher in the glory of its true and rightful King

Samuel RichardsonWhen I stand up to talk, people listen to me; they will follow what I have to say. Is it any power of mine? Of course not. St. Paul says, 'What have you that you have not received and you who have received, why do you glory as if you had not?' But the secret of my power is that I have never in fifty-five years missed spending an hour in the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. That's where the power comes from. That's where sermons are born. That's where every good thought is conceived.
Fulton J. SheenLord, where shall I find you? Your place is lofty and secret. And where shall I not find you? The whole earth is full of your glory!

I have sought to come near you; I have called to you with all my heart; and when I went out towards you, I found you coming towards me.

L. Tom PerryBecause Jesus Christ has prepared Himself from the foundations of the world we can trust Him as one uniquely qualified through the fullness of His love for His Father and us. His love, meekness, condescension, knowledge, power, commitment to agency, and obedience combine to bring this elusive peace to all of Godโs children. Our peace was purchased by the shedding of the innocent blood of Godโs purest Son. Our trust in His capacity to bring us this peace can be complete because that has been part of His work and His glory from the beginning.
