Sheep Quotes - Page 10

• Hardly a pure science, history is closer to animal husbandry than it is to mathematics in that it involves selective breeding. The principal difference between the husbandryman and the historian is that the former breeds sheep or cows or such and the latter breeds (assumed) facts. The husbandryman uses his skills to enrich the future, the historian uses his to enrich the past. Both are usually up to their ankles in bullshit.

• Escucha y atiende y escucha; porque esto es lo que ocurrió y sucedió y llegó a ser y fue, oh mi Bienamado, cuando los Animales Dóciles eran salvajes. El perro era salvaje, y el caballo era salvaje, y la vaca era salvaje, y la oveja era salvaje, y el cerdo era salvaje -tan salvaje como salvaje podía ser- y caminaban por los bosques húmedos y salvajes en sus soledades salvajes. Pero el más salvaje de todos los animales salvajes era el gato. Caminaba solo y todos los lugares eran iguales para él.

• When a man really believes that it is necessary to do a certain thing to be happy forever, or that a certain belief is necessary to ensure eternal joy, there is in that man no spirit of concession. He divides the whole world into saints and sinners, into believers and unbelievers, into God's sheep and Devil's goats, into people who will be glorified and people who are damned.

• "Do you love me?"; "Are you my friend?". The One who scrutinizes hearts (cf. Rom 8:27), makes himself a beggar of love and questions us on the one truly essential issue, a premiss and condition for feeding his sheep, his lambs, his Church. May every ministry be based on this intimacy with the Lord; living from him is the measure of our ecclesial service which is expressed in the readiness to obey, to humble ourselves, as we heard in the Letter to the Philippians, and for the total gift of self.

  Pope Francis

• A mí también me torturan. Me torturan la grasa de la barriga y las portadas de las revistas sobre cómo complacer a todo el mundo menos a mí misma. Me torturan las ovejas que hacen clic en cualquier cosa que les garantice perder cinco kilos en una semana. Ovejas que se ponen de rodillas si eso significa que le gustarán más a alguien. Me tortura mi incapacidad para querer juntarme con ovejas desesperadas. Me torturan los malditos anuarios llenos de gilipolleces. Te conocí cuando. Echaré de menos los tiempos. Mantendré el contacto. Mejores amigos para siempre. ¿Esto está bien? ¿Estás bien? ¿Tú también estás torturado?

• Our Lord Jesus Christ made the merciful shepherding of His sheep the proof of love for Himself (cf. Jn. 21:15-17). He denounces as 'wicked' the servant who refused to pardon the debt of his fellow servant and who did not share in even the smallest way, the immense kindness that was bestowed on himself; that he should suffer the fate which he dealt is plainly shown to be right (cf. Mt. 18:32-33).

• A God who draws near out of love, the Holy Father continued, walks with His people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. We could never have imagined that the same Lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in His Church, present in the Eucharist, present in His Word, present in the poor, He is present, walking with us. And this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

  Pope Francis

  Love, Father, People
