  2. A quotation from The Bible

    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
       he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul:
       he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
       I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
       thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

    בִּנְא֣וֹת דֶּ֭שֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵ֑נִי עַל־מֵ֖י מְנֻח֣וֹת יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃

  3. Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us that God’s mercy is for everyone.

    The risen Jesus brings peace, forgiveness, and hope. Like Thomas, we are invited to trust Him and believe, even when we cannot see. ✝️🌅🕊️

  4. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    And yet I am held responsible for my belief. Then why does not God give me the evidence? They say he has. In what? In an inspired book. But I do not understand it as they do. Must I be false to my understanding? They say: “When you come to die you will be sorry if you do not.” Will I be sorry when I come to die that I did not live a hypocrite? Will I be sorry that I did not say I was a Christian when I was not? Will the fact that I was honest put a thorn in the pillow of death? Cannot God forgive me for being honest? They say that when he was in Jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing from him on the subject of the Trinity.

  5. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

       Only the other day a gentleman was telling me of a case of special Providence. He knew it. He had been the subject of it. A few years ago he was about to go on a ship, when he was detained. He did not go, and the ship was lost with all on board.
       “Yes,” I said, ” Do you think the people who were drowned believed in special Providence?” Think of the infinite egotism of such a doctrine. Here is a man that fails to go upon a ship with 500 passengers, and they go down to the bottom of the sea — fathers, mothers, children, and loving husbands and wives waiting upon the shores of expectation. Here is one poor little wretch that did not happen to go! And he thinks that God, the Infinite Being, interfered in his poor little withered behalf and let the rest all go. That is special Providence!

  6. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

       What would we think of a father, who should give a farm to his children, and before giving them possession should plant upon it thousands of deadly shrubs and vines; should stock it with ferocious beasts, and poisonous reptiles; should take pains to put a few swamps in the neighborhood to breed malaria; should so arrange matters, that the ground would occasionally open and swallow a few of his darlings, and besides all this, should establish a few volcanoes in the immediate vicinity, that might at any moment overwhelm his children with rivers of fire? Suppose that this father neglected to tell his children which of the plants were deadly; that the reptiles were poisonous; failed to say anything about the earthquakes, and kept the volcano business a profound secret; would we pronounce him angel or fiend?
       And yet this is exactly what the orthodox God has done.

  7. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Strange! that no one has ever been persecuted by the church for believing God bad, while hundreds of millions have been destroyed for thinking him good. The orthodox church never will forgive the Universalist for saying “God is love.” It has always been considered as one of the very highest evidences of true and undefiled religion to insist that all men, women and children deserve eternal damnation. It has always been heresy to say, “God will at last save all.”

  8. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
    And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
    His presence shall my wants supply,
    And guard me with a watchful eye.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Poem (1712-07-26), “Psalm 23,” st. 1, ll. 1-4, The Spectator, No. 441
