QUOTATION: How to Keep from Sin

One of the most efficient ways of keeping ourselves sinless is to have compassion for those who fall due to frailty, and never to boast of our rightness, but with real humility acknowledge that if we are in a state of grace, it is by the mercy of God.

--St. Philip Neri

QUOTATION: What Christ Asks of You

What Christ asks of you is not sinlessness, but diligence.

--Blessed John Henry Newman, “Shrinking from Christ's Coming”, Parochial and Plain Sermons, Vol. 5

QUOTATION: Suffering

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

--St. Augustine of Hippo
