Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Hell

Don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith? Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

	Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Hell

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "If God should call upon you to leave the world, obey Him without delay. Whatever you do to avoid an eternity of suffering is well worth the trouble. As St. Bernard says, 'One can never be overcautious when eternity is at stake.' How many have forsaken the world in the full flower of youth, leaving country and family, to shut themselves up in caves and deserts, living only on bread and water, or sometimes only herbs? All this to avoid the fire of hell. What about you?"

"What do the pleasures of this world amount to? What is not eternal is worth nothing. Those who allow their passions to rule them, overtaken by death and buried in the eternal flames of hell will shriek in tears: 'Fools that we were and how dreadfully wrong!'"

"Remember that at the hour of death we shall reap what we have sown in life. If we have done good works, we will be happy. Death will be a blessing because it will usher us into Paradise. Otherwise, woe to us! Remorse of conscience and the open jaws of hell will await us. 'What a man sows, that he will also reap.' (Galatians 6:8)"

"God is a good Father and is deeply grieved when He has to condemn anyone to hell. We were doomed, and Jesus died to save us. Do we, then, still want to offend Him?"
