"Faith is not an ornament, but a complete transformation of the soul. If a person claims to be a believer but is unwilling to relinquish their old idols and vices, their faith is like a tree without roots. True followers should be like guiding lights, unafraid of the darkness, illuminating the path for those who have not yet come to know the true light."

"Christianity rejects the brutal division of humanity into soul and body, or life into material and spiritual. It is impossible to effectively address one type of suffering while simultaneously ignoring the other. Christ touches the body by healing the soul and demonstrates moral restoration by alleviating physical pain."
