Sentences with ATONEMENT (5)
And mendicant prophets go to rich men's doors and persuade them that they have a power committed to them by the gods of making an atonement for a man's own or his ancestor's sins by sacrifices or charms, with rejoicings and feasts; and they promise to harm an enemy, whether just or unjust, at a small cost; with magic arts and incantations binding heaven, as they say, to execute their will.

Quotes with ATONEMENT (3)
I take literally the statement in the Gospel of John that God loves the world. I believe that the world was created and approved by love, that it subsists, coheres, and endures by love, and that, insofar as it is redeemable, it can be redeemed only by love.

The happiness of contemplation is a true happiness, indeed the supreme happiness; but it is founded upon sorrow.
No human mind can fully grasp the gift of Christ’s atonement, the vastness and inclusiveness of the act — but in the end, it comes down to just you and Jesus. You’ve come, and He’s met you with open arms — and now it’s just between the two of you.
