I felt for the tormented whirlwindsDamned for their carnal sinsCommitted when they let their passions rule their reason.

Once a person learns to read the signs of love and thus to believe it, love leads him into the open field wherein he himself can love. If the prodigal son had not believed that the father's love was already waiting for him, he would not have been able to make the journey home - even if his father's love welcomes him in a way he never would have dreamed of. The decisive thing is that the sinner has heard of a love that could be, and really is, there for him; he is not the one who has to bring himself into line with God; God has always already seen in him, the loveless sinner, a beloved child and has looked upon him and conferred dignity upon him in the light of this love.

The world loves the Saint, and Christ loves the sinner.

How can the confessor teach/ those who are lost and sick at heart,/ when he himself, among the sinners,/ is worst, and most forsaken?/ It is only a game we play/ with other people's sins./ Besides, everyone knows/ that everyone lies confessing.

Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Infinite knowledge, infinite vision, infinite energy of the Soul is in the same state even today. The Soul has never been a sinner. The Soul is absolutely pure.

Jesus Christ saves the sinner.

Who can save a wretched soul? Only the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

There is a hope of salvation for every sinner.

I don't the life of a thug. I live the life of a sinner.
