More From St. Jerome

Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, i reject a limine. physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. the aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. all of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. if it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.
Life Failure Knowledge
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
It is not easy to explain why god permits evil; but it is impossible for an atheist to explain the existence of goodness. how could a spiritless, soul-less, cross-less, godless universe become the center of faith, purity, sacrifice, and martyrdom? how can decency be the decent thing if there is no god? since god is love, why should we be surprised that want of it should end in pain, hate, broken hearts, and war?
Atheist Pain Hate
People think of faith as being something that you don't really believe, a device in helping you believe simply it. of course that is quite wrong. as pascal says, faith is a gift of god. it is different from the proof of it. it is the kind of faith god himself places in the heart, of which the proof is often the instrument... he says of it, too, that it is the heart which is aware of god, and not reason. that is what faith is: god perceived by the heart, not be reason.
Believe Heart Thinking
True prayer is only another name for the love of god. its excellence does not consist in the multitude of our words; for our father knoweth what things we have need of before we ask him. the true prayer is that of the heart, and the heart prays only for what it desires. to pray, then is to desire -- but to desire what god would have us desire. he who asks what he does not from the bottom of his heart desire, is mistaken in thinking that he prays.
