QUOTATION: Multiplying Time

God really performs the miracle of multiplying our time, but only if we give it to him first.

--Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

QUOTATION: The Three Enemies of Man

Three enemies of man: Death, which overtakes him by surprise; Time, which keeps slipping by; the Devil, who seeks to ensnare him.

--St. John Bosco

QUOTATION: Time and Eternity

Eternity is simultaneously whole. But time has a before and an after. Therefore time and eternity are not the same thing.

--St. Thomas Aquinas

QUOTATION: Time and Sin

We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. I have heard others, and I have heard myself, recounting cruelties and falsehoods committed in boyhood as if they were no concern of the present speaker’s, and even with laughter. But mere time does nothing either to the fact of to the guilt of sin.

--C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

QUOTATION: Efficient Use of Time

The best way to economize time is to 'lose' half an hour each day attending Holy Mass.

--Blessed Frederic Ozanam

QUOTATION: God and Time

God is not hurried along in the Time-stream of this universe any more than an author is hurried along in the imaginary time of his own novel. He has infinite attention to spare for each one of us. He does not have to deal with us in the mass. You are as much alone with Him as if you were the only being He had ever created. When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only man in the world.

--C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
