Who shall say that those poor peasants were not acting in the spirit we most venerate, most adore; that theirs was not the true heart language which we cannot choose but love? and what has been their reward? they have sent down their name to be the by-word of all after ages; the worst reproach of the worst men a name convertible with atheism and devil-worship.

Who Shall Say That Those Poor Peasants

James Anthony Froude
Who shall say that those poor peasants were not acting in the spirit we most venerate, most adore; that theirs was not the true heart language which we cannot choose but love? and what has been their reward? they have sent down their name to be the by-word of all after ages; the worst reproach of the worst men a name convertible with atheism and devil-worship.

More From James Anthony Froude

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth: for the father seeketh such to worship him. god is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Father Spirit Worship
The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism -that's the most dangerous type. and the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to god and not life service. and there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in god when internally we don't. we say with our mouths that we believe in him, but we live with our lives like he never existed. that is the ever-present danger confronting religion. that's a dangerous type of atheism.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

There may come a time when it will be possible for you to humiliate your worst enemy or even to defeat him, but in order to love the enemy you must not do it... the greek language has another word [for love]. it calls it agape. agape is more than romantic love. agape is more than friendship. agape is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men. agape is an overflowing love, a spontaneous love, which seeks nothing in return. and theologians would say that it is the love of god operating in the human heart. when you rise to love on this level you love all men, not because you like them, not because their ways appeal to you, not because they are worthful to you, but you love all men because god loves them. and you rise to the noble heights of loving the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does. and i think this is what jesus means when he says, “love your enemies.”
Life Jesus Hate
Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!
