"Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is." ― Hans Urs von Balthasar Topic(s): Faith More From Hans Urs von Balthasar "Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith." "Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness." "But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation." More In Faith "Faith, sir, we are here today, and gone tomorrow."― Aphra Behn "The solid, middle-class values of hard work, responsibility, family, community, and faith my father talked about tirelessly from Iowa to New York, he lived at home. The hopes he had for his family and for me, he had for all Americans. I think Americans understood this."― Chelsea Clinton "The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise."― Thomas Sydenham
