No one can truly know Christ unless they follow him in life.

The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!

Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.

This Christianity is not a cultural thing. It is not something that should be just a small part of your life; it is not something that you do on Sunday... Christianity is not about you being just like the world all the time and then coming to church on Sunday. If that is your Christianity... you are not Christian.

There are few professing Christians, it may be feared, who strive to imitate Christ in the matter of private devotion.

Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding.

To love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is all-consuming and all-encompassin g. It is no lukewarm endeavor. It is total commitment of our very being-physicall y, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually-to a love of the Lord.

Christianity is not a set of beliefs or doctrines one believes in order to be a Christian, but rather Christianity is to have one's body shaped, one's habits determined, in such a way that the worship of God is unavoidable.
