Redemption is an accomplished fact; salvation for us is still only a possibility. Salvation is a matter of cooperation. Jesus does not do it alone! (From God, A Woman and The Way by Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.)
“The truth hurts sometimes. If we are going to be taught by God, the fisherman, we first need to be captured by Him. And His hook is going to have a bite. Of course, it's going to hurt.” - Father Donald Calloway, MIC
