  1. You are the light of the world. Matthew 5:14 . . . let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

  2. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Matthew 3:8 Beware of practicing righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Matthew 6:1

  3. but if salt has lots its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. Matthew 3:13 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Matthew 3:15

  4. We do not want, as the newspapers say, a church that will move with the world. We want a church that will move the world. G. K. Chesterton

  5. Here, everywhere I went, I was forced, by the disposition of everything around me, to be always at least virtually conscious of the church. Every street pointed more or less inward to the center of the town, to the church. Every view of the town, from the exterior hills, centered upon the long grey building with its high spire…

  6. The whole landscape, unified by the church and its heavenward spire, seemed to say: this is the meaning of all created things: we have been made for no other purpose than that men may use us in raising themselves to God, and in proclaiming the glory of God… Oh, what a thing it is, to live in a place that is so constructed that you are forced, in spite of yourself, to be at least a virtual contemplative! Where all day long your eyes must turn, again and again, to the House that hides the Sacramental Christ!

  7. I did not even know who Christ was, that he was God… I thought churches were simply places where people got together and sang a few hymns. And yet now I tell you, you who are now what I once was, unbelievers, it is that Sacrament, and that alone, the Christ living in our midst…it is he alone who holds our world together, and keeps us all from being poured headlong and immediately into the pit of our eternal destruction. Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain

  8. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:20
