I want to offer congratulations to Pope Benedict XVI, a man of great wisdom, and knowledge. He's a man who serves the Lord. And we remember well a sermon at the pope's funeral in Rome -- how his words touched our hearts and the hearts of millions. We join our fellow citizens and millions around the world who pray for continued strength and wisdom as His Holiness leads the Catholic Church.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.

Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.

The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.

We should all realize that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity an obligation, every posistion a duty, and that the most effective sermon is expressed in deeds instead of words.
|
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.

A grave, wherever found, preaches a short and pithy sermon to the soul
|
A good sermon should have a good beginning and a good ending, and they should be as close together as possible.
|
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
|
The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded in the air.
|
Most people are willing to take the Sermon on the Mount as a flag to sail under, but few will use it as a rudder by which to steer.
|
At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What is Hell?' Come early and listen to our choir practice.
|
No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.
|
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
|
Few sinners are saved after the fiirst twenty minutes of a sermon.
|
If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap, than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

|
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning anf a good ending; and have the two as close together as possible.
|
A good example is the best sermon.
|
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.
