I could more easily contain Niagara Falls in a teacup than I can comprehend the wild, uncontainable love of God.
Brennan ManningWe have been given God in our souls and Christ in our flesh. We have the power to believe where others deny, to hope where others despair, to love where others hurt.
Brennan ManningAuthentic faith leads us to treat others with unconditional seriousness and to a loving reverence for the mystery of the human personality. Authentic Christianity should lead to maturity, personality, and reality. It should fashion whole men and women living lives of love and communion. False, manhandled religion produces the opposite effect. Whenever religion shows contempt or disregards the rights of persons, even under the noblest pretexts, it draws us away from reality and God.
Brennan ManningThe deepest desire of our hearts is for union for God. God created us for union with himself. This is the original purpose of our lives.
