Quote by Fulton J. Sheen

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me

Summary

This quote is a call to self-reflection, emphasizing the importance of virtuous action and an open heart. By asking to see someone's hands with scars from giving and feet wounded from service, it suggests that true goodness is reflected in one's actions towards others. Additionally, examining whether one's heart has made room for divine love challenges individuals to consider whether they remain receptive to love, compassion, and spirituality. It prompts us to assess our commitment to selflessness and the openness of our hearts towards both human connections and higher realms of love.

Common to all these types is the anthropomorphic character of their conception of God. In general, only individuals of exceptional endowments, and exceptionally high-minded communities, rise to any considerable extent above this level. But there is a third stage of religious experience which belongs to all of them, even though it is rarely found in a pure form: I shall call it cosmic religious feeling. It is very difficult to elucidate this feeling to anyone who is entirely without it, especially as there is no anthropomorphic conception of God corresponding to it.
