Several on Faith

(Ephesians 2:8)

“For faith is the beginning and the end is love, and God is the two of them brought into unity. After these comes whatever else makes up a Christian gentleman.”

~St. Ignatius of Antioch

“Faith means battles; if there are no contests, it is because there are none who desire to contend.”

~St. Ambrose

“Faith does not quench desire, but inflames it.”

~St. Thomas Aquinas

“A faint faith is better than a strong heresy.”

~St. Thomas More

“It is not the actual physical exertion that counts toward a man’s progress, nor the nature of the task, but the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken.”

~St. Francis Xavier
