Father Dwyer Speaks of The Christ...



We have no Crossless CHRIST.

Face the sun (light, CHRIST). Turn your back to the sun and   
you see your shadow (darkness).

GOD gave us two ears and one mouth so we would listen to HIM  
twice more than what we say to HIM.

Once you find CHRIST, to lose HIM is hell.

If we truly believe it is CHRIST in the Eucharist, then we    
have no barriers.

CHRIST is always in town.

I have nothing that matters but CHRIST.

You cannot have CHRIST without a church. There is no           
churchless CHRIST. It would be like a headless body.

We don't go to Confession/Reconciliation primarily to get     
absolution. We go to meet CHRIST.

Most weddings are all show but where is CHRIST?

GOD must be first in our lives.

There was only one person born to die, CHRIST.

Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of CHRIST.

When we honor HER, we adore and worship CHRIST.

Anyone who comes near to CHRIST must share HIS cross.

We are all brothers and sisters of CHRIST.

With CHRIST, you are unlimited.

CHRIST did not come to make life easy for us. HE came to make us great.

The CHRIST on the crucifix wont ask you anything, but the CHRIST in
     the tabernacle will.

When you decide to come in as a CHRISTian, it is the most beautiful
life you could possibly have.

CHRISTianity is a way of life that occupies every moment of every
day of our lives.

The only street out of life is the dusty one at the end of which
CHRIST is holding the scales of life.

The people go all over the world to see (Medjugorje, etc). CHRIST says 
"COME TO ME. I AM HERE IN THE TABERNACLE".

Where is the CHRIST in CHRISTmas?

In Advent, we stand on tip-toe in expectation of the birth of CHRIST.

The best CHRISTmas box is the confessional box.

It is impossible, impossible, impossible, to be happy without GOD.

You can fill your whole house with treasures from stores, but you will
be unhappy without CHRIST.

You are the light of CHRIST to the world.

Preparing for CHRISTmas, shopping and mopping. 

The new eve, the CHRISTmas Eve.

We cling to MARY and conquer with CHRIST.

HE will do whatever SHE asks of HIM.

Deep in December it's nice to remember. (CHRISTMAS)

The wonder of CHRISTMAS.

In all our history, there has been nothing like it. (CHRISTMAS)

Did you ever see a statue of any man as a baby except for JESUS?

Everybody was expecting somebody, but nobody was expecting CHRIST.

The creator of star upon star was born under a star.

The infinite becomes finite. (Birth of CHRIST)

In the inrush and outrush of bustle, CHRIST is lost in the shuffle.

What a loss if we don't meet and know the man. (CHRIST)

Without HIM, you will not be happy.

GOD came down from the stars so we could go up to the stars.
 
The greatest event in all the ages is CHRISTMAS.

In Eden, man was made in the image of GOD. In Bethlehem,
GOD came in the image of man.

We don't tell HIM what to do. We listen to HIM telling us what to do.

CHRIST lays down the law of love.

Who is the best way? CHRIST said "I AM THE WAY".

After CHRIST rose from the dead, Peter said, "Lets go fishing". He did
not get the message. JOHN 21:3

If we are a little CHRIST like, the whole world will change.

CHRIST was only 46 years dead when Mt Vesuvius blew its top.
The town of Pompeii died, gasping and clutching its throat.
Pompeii was steeped in sensuous sin.
The people of Pompeii could have escaped, had they left everything.
Archaeologists in Pompeii uncovered a man with golden coins falling
from his desperate grasp.

The early Christians got super human strength from CHRIST.

'Climb every mountain' is the story of CHRISTS' life.

CHRIST climbed 3 mountains, one to fast, one to preach, and one to pray.

See only CHRIST, let everything else melt in the background.

You can not put into a man what GOD has left out.

We can see everything except JESUS CHRIST.

CHRIST was suspended in the air at the Transfiguration as HE is suspended
in air in the Eucharist and as HE is suspended in air on the Cross.

HE was transfixed on the cross with spikes instead of transfigured in
splendor.

There are three times in religious life, the time before CHRIST, the time
of CHRIST, and the end times, the time after CHRIST.

See how CHRIST is in the center of times? Before CHRIST they looked
forward to HIS coming. After CHRIST we look back on HIS coming.

How casually we take the incredible for granted.

She was the bait, CHRIST was the victim. (the woman about to be stoned)
They would sacrifice her to get CHRIST. (the woman about to be stoned)
She was a pawn used to trap the KING OF KINGS. (chess) (stoning)

That is not the attitude of CHRIST.

HE was conceived in a virgin womb and buried in a virgin tomb.

Ask yourself, what would CHRIST think of the things you want to do.

If you are not beautiful, then GOD is not beautiful.

It would be nice if you could see yourself through the eyes of CHRIST.

If you accept CHRIST, you will never be alone. HE will walk with you.

When you come to the real CHRIST, HE will surely make demands.

CHRIST came from 'The promised land' to the people.

CHRIST is KING and HE became a commoner.

If I am tied up with other stuff, I do not have time to be tied up with
CHRIST.

Keep to the center with CHRIST. If we are on the peripheral we miss it all.

They say, I want CHRIST but I do not want the cross.

If we are nailed to CHRIST, we are nailed to the cross.

HE was born in a strangers cave and was buried in a strangers cave.

Let us take out of the tiny tomb of the Tabernacle, the cold body of
CHRIST, and welcome HIM into our warm hearts.

CHRIST raised many from the dead, such as Lazarus after four stinking
days in the tomb. CHRIST was the only one to raise HIMSELF.

All earthly things are rubbish compared to the things of CHRIST.

If you try to wash away CHRIST, some wind will blow all the residue
back in your face. (Pilate washing his hands)

Today there is still something empty, the tomb. (CHRIST'S resurrection)

I have to teach the truth for CHRIST.

So you want to quit? Have you asked CHRIST what HE wants you to do?

The green grass became red with the blood of the shepherd.

You are to be the light of CHRIST in a world of darkness and ignorance.

CHRIST is either who HE says HE is or the greatest fraud in history.
