Sanctity Quotes - Page 3

• Creation is thus God's presence in creatures. The Greek Orthodox theologian Philip Sherrard has written that "Creation is nothing less than the manifestation of God's hidden Being." This means that we and all other creatures live by a sanctity that is inexpressibly intimate, for to every creature, the gift of life is a portion of the breath and spirit of God. (pg. 308, Christianity and the Survival of Creation)

• [Middleton] sostenía que los líderes religiosos del siglo IV habían admitido, elogiado y actuado habitualmente según principios diametralmente opuestos, no sólo a las aspiraciones de una santidad trascendente, sino a los dictados de la honestidad más común. Demostró que habían aplaudido la falsedad, que habían practicado la falsificación más al por mayor, que habían falsificado habitual y groseramente la historia, que habían adoptado al máximo el sistema de fraudes piadosos y que los empleaban continuamente para estimular la devoción del pueblo.

• Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the stateof victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, "they" don't want me, "they" accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, "they" don't deserve me.

• In the woods, too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods we return to reason and faith.
