Cruelty to animals is as if humans did not love God.

John Henry Newman

It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Judgment Matter Said
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Given Missions Priceless
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Act Since Wish
Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Doe Guilt Responsibility
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

God Love Voice
The attributes of God, though intelligible to us on their surface yet, for the very reason that they are infinite, transcend our comprehension, when they are dwelt upon, when they are followed out, and can only be received by faith.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

You must be patient, you must wait for the eye of the soul to be formed in you. Religious truth is reached, not by reasoning, but by an inward perception. Anyone can reason; only disciplined, educated, formed minds can perceive.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Eye Religious Waiting
Men will die upon dogma but will not fall victim to a conclusion.

It’s really not a difficult decision when you reflect on it, … The situation is just so tenuous with where it’s going to hit. You don’t want to take any chances.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dear Lord…shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul…Let me thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
