John Henry Newman

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Given Missions Priceless

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done! Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, but God declared: “Go down again – I dwell among the people.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

It is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings. If the truth is to be spread to any wide extent among the people, how can we dream, how can we hope, that trial and trouble shall not accompany its going forth.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
