Today, I’d like to share some very inspiring quotes from the movie “Full of Grace.” The movie is about the life of the apostles after Jesus ascended to heaven. It has wonderfully shown how the first Christians looked towards Peter for guidance, and how Peter himself has looked to Mary for inspiration and wisdom.
Here are the quotes from the movie:
“Do you think the Lord has left you? He has gone away so we will find Him. He has gone away so we will seek Him.”
“You never met him. You never heard him speak. You never even saw him from afar. Yet you… have more faith than most people. How is that possible?
‘Mary took me in as her own… When I look into her eyes, when I watch how she lives. That’s how I know that it’s all true. I see him in her. I hear him because of her.'”
“Perhaps remembering where it all began will help you figure out where it ends.”
“Seek him in all things and failure will be impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible with God.”
“You cannot let the weight of this world outshine the light that you carry within.”
“Perhaps you do not believe that He exists in you in the same way. When you said yes to Christ, you brought him forth in your heart into the world, your heart beating with His for eternity.”
“The question is not whether we will struggle. We will struggle greatly. The question is, to whom do we look to in the struggle?”
“Faith is not about explaining things. It is about living, and breathing and walking in that light that is upon us. But we will suffer in the light. Sometimes our souls will be squeezed to dry down to the very deepest roots. We will wither and grow weary to where we cannot take one step more. The light will fade to the faintest glimmer. Nothing more than a grain of sand upon the shore. But the light will never disappear. This walk of faith comes with a promise. The promise that we will never be abandoned.”
“My children, if you do nothing more in this life, remember the moment He first looked upon you… Remember that moment and everything you do will glorify the Lord.”
“What now? We do exactly what she (Mary) did. We remember the good grace that brought us here today. And we listen, we follow and we trust. Come. It’s time to tell the world the good news.”
