The church is the gym of the soul.
Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and about what the church is: The church is the gym of the soul.
It is statute that no cleric having the means of an honorable livelihood according to his own calling engage in secular pursuits, especially by trading … or by leasing farms … allow himself to be withdrawn from spiritual exercises to the neglect of the proper cure of souls.
Never was there a more injurous mistake than to say it was thebusiness only of the clergy to care for souls.
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.
I must secure more time for private devotions. I have been living far too public for me. The shortening of devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I have been keeping too late hours.
It must not be supposed that the Church so concentrates her energies on caring for souls as to overlook things which pertain to mortal and earthly life.
I teach metaphysics and pastor a church.
What the sunshine is to the flower, the Lord Jesus Christ is to my soul.
At their peak, religion and psychotherapy become one.
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
I think of love as an action. Finding something that's outside of yourself, to serve someone else's soul, helping to ignite someone else's spirit, to bring about ease of heart and joy, serenity in somebody else.
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it; for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Friendship multiplies blessings and...soothes the soul.
I b'lieve in religion, and one of these days, when I've got matters tight and snug, I calculates to tend to my soul.
For the soul to be well, it needs to be with God.
We were birthed with one soul to take care of, and we must take care of it.
I work with the dead, but I am working for the living.
Brother Cadfael knew better than to be in a hurry, where souls were concerned. There was plenty of elbow-room in eternity.
I wrote 'Soul Keeping' because we are taught more about how to care for our cars than how to steward our souls. But you cannot have an impactful life with an impoverished soul.
If any man gives you a wine you can't bear, don't say it is beastly... But don't say you like it. You are endangering your soul and the use of wine as well... Seek out some other wine good to your taste.
I feel like God put me here to help out with people's soul, man.
Without nourishing our own souls, we can't nourish the world, for we cannot give what we do not have. As we attend to our souls, we emanate invisibly and involuntarily the light we have received.
