Quotes by David M. Knight  (?)

“God doesn’t ask the impossible. He sees our weakness and our struggles. He looks at our heart more than at our behavior. If he sees that we want to love him, want to believe in him, and want to follow his way — but are just unable right now to do it — he has patience with us. He encourages us to do whatever we can, and to keep trying.”
David M. Knight, A Fresh Look at Confession...why it really is good for the soul

“Great scientists are Peter Pans, still anxious to classify and explain at an age when most people are concerned with money, power and sex.”
David M. Knight, Ordering the World: A History of Classifying Man

“Since it is so difficult in the concrete to judge what is and is not “mortal sin,” and who is and is not subjectively guilty of it, we should choose pastorally not to make that judgment except in extreme and obvious cases. Then Eucharist would be recognized again as what it really is: not just the “bread of angels,” but on this earth the strengthening food and sacrament of sinners.”
