“The wars of Israel were the only ‘holy wars’ in history… there can be no more wars of faith. The only way to overcome our enemy is by loving him.”
“By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.”
“When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.”
“Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy’s hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private person and official capacity. In both, we are Disciples of Christ, or we are not Christians at all.”
“The messengers of Jesus will be hated to the end of time. They will be blamed for all the division which rend cities and homes. Jesus and his disciples will be condemned on all sides for undermining family life, and for leading the nation astray; they will be called crazy fanatics and disturbers of the peace.”
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer, (from “The Cost of Discipleship)
“Nothing good ever comes of violence.”
“Peace if possible, truth at all costs.”
“War is one of the greatest plagues that can afflict humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge, in fact, is preferable to it. Famine and pestilence become as nothing in comparison with it. Pestilence becomes as nothing in comparison with it. Pestilence is the least evil of the three, and this therefore is why (King) David chose it, willing rather to fall into the hands of God than into those of pitiless man.” Martin Luther
“We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.” Saint Teresa of Avila
“When arguing with your mate, discuss only the item that began the disagreement. Do not become historical, digging up long past hurts and wrongs. If you do, this will only harm the present, hinder the future, and drown your marriage in a bottomless sea of strife.”

“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.” Corrie Ten Boom
“Infatuation is a feeling many call love; but it is farther from true love than Saturn is from the Sun.
Infatuation is selfish and self-centered; but one who loves truly, gladly sacrifices all for their beloved.
Faithfulness, commitment and sacrifice are the heart, soul and spirit of love; without these three love cannot exist.
True love gives without hesitation, regardless the cost; but infatuation takes without ceasing, consuming all, yet hungering for more.
Feelings come and go, fickle by their very nature; but love endures forevermore. Never shall it fade away.”
Elias the Teacher (The Angel of Antioch)

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
“O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.”
Saint Francis of Assisi
“Our prayers can go where we cannot…there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.” Brother Andrew https://www.opendoorsmy.org/aboutus/brotherandrew/
“Those who raise hand against mate, children or elderly parents are devils incarnate. Have nothing to do with one such as this. Leave them alone in the dark dungeon they have constructed with their own two hands.” Elias the Teacher (The Angel of Antioch)
