Marshall: mere belief

Thursday, September 3, 2015
    Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604
Meditation:
    You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
    —James 2:19 (NIV)
Quotation:
    One can believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and feel no personal loyalty to Him at all—indeed, pay no attention whatever to His commandments and His will for one’s life. One can believe intellectually in the efficacy of prayer and never do any praying.
    ... Catherine Marshall (1914-1983), Beyond Our Selves, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1961, p. 71 (see the book)
