Fulton J. Sheen Faith Quotations

There are no planes in the spiritual life; we are either going uphill or coming down.

Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved; there can be no world peace without soul peace.

God could not keep, as it were, the secret of His love, and the telling of it was creation.

No one has ever laughed at a pun who did not see in the one word a twofold meaning. To materialists this world is opaque like a curtain; nothing can be seen through it. A mountain is just a mountain, a sunset just a sunset; but to poets, artists, and saints, the world is transparent like a window pane - it tells of something beyond....a mountain tells of the Power of God, the sunset of His Beauty, and the snowflake of His Purity.

Believe the incredible and you can do the impossible.

The rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying that the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the substance of the next. The power of the rosary is beyond description.

Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
