Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Mercy

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: Mercy

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "God is merciful and just. He is merciful to those who want to take advantage of His kindness, but He is also rigorously just with those who do not wish to avail themselves of His Mercy."

"One who abuses God’s Mercy to offend Him does not deserve it."

"Is there anyone who, on offending God, would persist in waging war against Him when He Himself makes the first move for peace? My beloved sons, let us accept His offer of peace. Our life will end. If we are at peace with God today, we shall also have the joy of hearing Our Lord greet us at that fateful hour with a consoling and everlasting Pax vobis [Peace be with you]."

"Although He is greatly upset by our offenses, God, in His infinite goodness, puts up with us, spreads a veil over our sins, and waits for us to repent."
