Synderesis Aquinas Quotes & Sayings

Having your own, um, cave at eighteen is pretty cool. — Richelle Mead

I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness. — Pope Francis

Obedience is the basic definition of worship. Like obedience, worship is to be a way of life rather than just an exercise on Sunday. — John F. MacArthur Jr.

Acting on desire is more like a craft, a science, an art. It takes careful mindful practice. Be patient and quiet. Listen, observe, take notes. Figure out what you want, privately, and then choose to want it, publicly. Put your desire out in the open. I want to go swimming. I want to bake bread. I want to paint a picture. I want to build a chair. I want to write a book. You act and then you fail. Over and over. And it's better to start failing when you're young, when all you lose is an ice-cream cone or a basketball game or an afternoon of fun. When you're older, the stakes are higher. If adults don't know how to want, then they lose a love, a career, a life. — David Barringer
