Our Lenten Journey, April 1, 2019

Quotes of the Day:

“Miracles were necessary before the world believed, in order that it might believe.” – St. Augustine

“If we characterize miracles — or marvels — as things that need a marvelous cause like the power of God, then the creation and all other things only God can do are miracles.” — St. Thomas Aquinas

“The minute we begin to think we know all the answers, we forget the questions, and we become smug like the Pharisee who listed all his considerable virtues, and thanked God that he was not like other men… Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.” – Madeleine L’Engle
