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

Enquiry Modesty Religious
Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.

I wonder what day I shall die on – one passes year by year over one’s death day, as one might pass over one’s grave.

Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not… We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Arguing Believe Men
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
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
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

Blessing Dream Sacrifice

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Iron Teacher Winter
Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one; style is a thinking out into language.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
