• As I lay down my pen, let me record my immovable conviction that this is the noblest service in which any human being can spend or be spent; and that, if God gave me back my life to be lived over again, I would without one quiver of hesitation lay it on the altar to Christ, that He might use it as before in similar ministries of love, especially amongst those who have never yet heard the Name of Jesus.

• Father, take my life, yea, my blood if Thou wilt, and consume it with Thine enveloping fire. I would not save it, for it is not mine to save. Have it Lord, have it all. Pour out my life as an oblation for the world. Blood is only of value as it flows before Thine altar

  Jim Elliot

• Señor, haz que me parezca menos a Jonás y más a Jesús. Sálvame de ser el tipo de persona que se preocupa más por mi comodidad, mi reputación y mi éxito que por las personas a las que Tú me llamas a servir. Ayúdame a mantener todos mis sueños en Tu altar y a estar preparado en todo momento para responder con fe y obediencia a Tu llamada.

• El papa Gelasio, en su novena carta (cap. 26) a los obispos de Lucania, condenó la mala práctica que se había introducido de que las mujeres sirvieran al sacerdote en la celebración de la misa. Como este abuso se había extendido a los griegos, Inocencio IV lo prohibió terminantemente en su carta al obispo de Tusculum: "Las mujeres no deben atreverse a servir en el altar; se les debe negar por completo este ministerio". También nosotros hemos prohibido esta práctica con las mismas palabras.

  Papa Benedicto XIV

• There are different kinds of fire; there is false fire. No one knows this better than we do, but we are not such fools as to refuse good bank notes because there are false ones in circulation; and although we see here and there manifestations of what appears to us to be nothing more than mere earthly fire, we none the less prize and value, and seek for the genuine fire which comes from the altar of the Lord.

• Los cristianos siempre están cantando sobre la sangre. ¡Démosles suficiente! ¡Cortemos sus gargantas y arrastrémoslos sobre el altar! ¡Y dejemos que se ahoguen en su propia sangre! Sueño con el día en que el último sacerdote sea estrangulado en las tripas del último predicador.

• Gay men are guardians of the masculine impulse. To have anonymous sex in a dark alleyway is to pay homage to the dream of male freedom. The unknown stranger is a wandering pagan god. The altar, as in pre-history, is anywhere you kneel.

• Presence is far more intricate and rewarding an art than productivity. Ours is a culture that measures our worth as human beings by our efficiency, our earnings, our ability to perform this or that. The cult of productivity has its place, but worshipping at its altar daily robs us of the very capacity for joy and wonder that makes life worth living.

• Si la grandeza de propósito, la pequeñez de medios y los resultados asombrosos son los tres criterios de un genio humano, ¿quién podría atreverse a comparar a cualquier gran hombre de la historia con Muhammad? Los hombres más famosos sólo crearon armas, leyes e imperios. No fundaron, si es que fundaron algo, más que poderes materiales que a menudo se desmoronaron ante sus ojos. Este hombre movió no sólo ejércitos, legislaciones, imperios, pueblos, dinastías, sino millones de hombres en un tercio del mundo entonces habitado; y más que eso, movió los altares, los dioses, las religiones, las ideas, las creencias y las almas.

• The sky is purple, the flare of a match behind a cupped hand is gold; the liquor is green, bright green, made from a thousand herbs, made from altars. Those who know enough to drink Chartreuse at Mardi Gras are lucky, because the distilled essence of the town burns in their bellies. Chartreuse glows in the dark, and if you drink enough of it, your eyes will turn bright green.
