Christian Quotation of the Day
January 31, 1996
Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888
"The Bible," we are told sometimes, "gives us such a beautiful picture of what we should be." Nonsense! It gives us no picture at all. It reveals to us a fact: it tells us what we really are; it says, This is the form in which God created you, to which He has restored you; this is the work which the Eternal Son, the God of Truth and Love, is continually carrying on within you.
... F. D. Maurice, The Prayer-Book and the Lord's Prayer
