They all belong to the same clan, but at times they have very different ideas about how to run their family affairs. Some of them, for instance, have no use for any outside devotion. God is a spirit, and He wants to be worshipped in spirit only, they say. Consequently, they have dispensed with all liturgy. They don’t want any distracting ceremonies, no incense, no vestments, no music, no pictures and images, not even sacraments—only the service of the spirit. The trouble is, however, that as long as we live here on earth, we simply are not pure spirits, but we have also a body, and in that body, a very human heart; and this heart needs outward signs of its inward affections. That is why we embrace and kiss the one we love; and the more we love, the more ardently we press him to this very heart—somehow it seems as if these cousins had overlooked that fact. But you can’t cheat the heart; it knows what it wants, and it knows how to get it.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maria Augusta Trapp" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/maria-augusta-trapp/christianity-nowadays-is-like-a-big-household-where-many-cousins-live/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ac5/maria-augusta-trapp-86303_christianity_christianity-nowadays-is-like-a-big-hous_535026.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ac5/maria-augusta-trapp-86303_christianity_christianity-nowadays-is-like-a-big-hous_535026.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ac5/maria-augusta-trapp-86303_christianity_christianity-nowadays-is-like-a-big-hous_535026.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Christianity nowadays is like a big household where many cousins live under the same roof.
