“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23:43

John 19:28-30

“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink” – John 7:37

To be Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you… how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night “forgive our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us.”
-C.S. Lewis

When you are standing very close to a large object, all you can see is the object. Only by stepping back from it can you also see the rest of its setting around it. When we are stunned by some tragedy, we can only see and feel the tragedy. Only with time and distance can we see the tragedy in the context of a whole life and a whole world. – Harold Kushner
