Wisdom of Ratisbonne

Sion's Authority

"Sion's Authority", Book 4, p 208

Sion´s authority is a paternal and maternal authority; it is never imposed, it never forces anyone's will.
God himself... leaves us the merit of our free actions and we shall do as He did.

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

View through coloured glass

View through coloured glass, B4 p. 209

Too often you attribute to others and even to our father the colour of your own glasses.

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Poverty

Poverty

Poverty consists in dispossession of oneself.

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Fr. Mary Alphonse Ratisbonne

Charity

Charity

"Charity is the capital virtue of the daughters of Sion."

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Mystery

Mystery

"Love is the fundamental mystery transmitted through scripture."

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Dicipleship

Dicipleship

"The true disciples are those who live intimately with Jesus Christ."

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Sion - Reality

Sion - Reality

The older I get the more I am convinced that the work of Sion is a reality of the moment.

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne

Church

Church

The early Church is the model of religious life.

Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne
