Quotes About Jesus

Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. God is Jesus.

All theology is sexual theology. Indecent Theology is sexier than most. What can sexual stories from fetishism and sadomasochism tell us about our relationship with God, Jesus and Mary? Isn't it time the Christian heterosexuals came out of their closets too?

Charity is the secret weapon Jesus Christ places in our hands, the only thing that can assure us of victory. The first on to use it will win.

The key principle, however, is this: power must be exercised wholly for the benefit of others and not for the benefit of the leader. Christian leadership, modelled on Jesus' leadership, is self-giving, not self- serving.

The point is not that Jesus was a good guy who accepted everybody, and thus we should do the same (though that would be good). Rather, his teachings and behavior reflect an alternative social vision. Jesus was not talking about how to be good and how to behave within the framework of a domination system. He was a critic of the domination system itself.

It is a way of being Christian in which beliefs are secondary, not primary. Christianity is a "way" to be followed more than it is about a set of beliefs to be believed. Practice is more important than "correct" beliefs. Beliefs are not irrelevant; they do matter. But they are not the object of faith. God is the "object" of commitment—and for Christians, God as known in Jesus.

When Jesus called his followers "the salt of the earth," he was telling them that they were irreplaceable, and that their mission was to give people what makes life worth living.

Tener un corazón capaz de amar, un corazón que puede conocer la ansiedad y el sufrimiento, que puede afligirse y conmoverse, es la característica más específica de la naturaleza humana. El corazón es la esfera más tierna, más interior, más secreta de la persona, y es precisamente en el corazón de Jesús donde habita la plenitud de la divinidad»

En el mundo en que vivimos, con sus luces y sus sombras, afirmar que uno se realiza con el don sincero de sí —siguiendo las huellas de Jesús— significa ciertamente ir a contracorriente.

Pareciera que el darse a los demás nos quitase la libertad de hacer lo que nos da la gana.

Jesus loves sinners. He only loves sinners. He has never turned anyone away who came to Him for forgiveness, and He died on the cross for sinners, not for respectable people.

May Mary, who in the freedom of her 'Fiat' and her presence at the foot of the cross, offered to the world, Jesus, the Liberator, help us to find him in the Sacrament of the altar

Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be open to the Lord so that He may lighten all your ways.

Truth is more important, freedom is more complex, and Jesus is more liberating than you think.

The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.

Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.

Dear young people, Jesus wants to be your friend, and wants you to spread the joy of this friendship everywhere.

The baby Jesus was the last homeless person the Republicans liked.

Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.

To paraphrase Jesus from The Big Lebowski, 'I'm going to shove this gun up her ass and pull the trigger until it goes click.

Hay irreverentes, y también historiadores, que sostienen que la virginidad de María es un error de traducción. Y puede que sí. Pero ya sea en arameo, zendo, jónico, eólico o ático, haya sido virgen o mujer normalmente sexuada, María es sobre todo una imagen poética, digna de parir a esa prometedora metáfora llamada Jesús (no olvidemos que expulsó del templo a los mercaderes).

The tendency is to view God as a cosmic ogre, bound and determined to administer well-deserved punishment; or we envision God as an eternal Mr. Rogers, eager to welcome us all to the neighborhood of the Kingdom.....Jesus however, lived with the dynamic tension of God's wrath and grace; in fact he embodied the paradox.
