Our whole world is entrenched in sin. There in the quiet of our hearts a woman is calling us, each one of us, back to her Son. Jesus is there for us in the Scriptures. How often do we ignore Him? We must shake off this indifference. Only the Faith and the wisdom of the Church can save us, but it requires men and women, warriors ready to risk their good names, even their very lives to stand up for the truth.
You weren't made to fit in. You were born to stand out!
When you live in holiness, when you really try to stop sinning, you become braver. You become more courageous, you become a man of your word. You become a man of conviction that you're not willing to sell out and you're really a true knight in shining armour.
We all have a cross to carry. I have to carry my own cross. If we don't carry our crosses, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.
I also hope that I am occasionally involved in projects that touch other people in ways that make their lives a little better, more interesting for the moment, that makes them think.
I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.
I try to be the best man I can for the day.
I meditate on God's life and I read the scriptures. I read something about Him, go through it and spend a lot of time by myself.
When the mother herself kills her son she goes against her own nature, against her own instinct. People talk about 'choice', but when a woman does that, when she destroys the life of her unborn child, then we have arrived at the limit. The level cannot go higher regarding evil.
Usually people who are evil don't see themselves as evil.
We are all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins, your sins put Him on that cross.
The point I'm trying to make is that you go to church on Sunday. But the real Christ is out there in your life every day, whether it be the guy you help on the street, how you live your life, and your countenance that makes people want to be you.
I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'
Christ died for the truth.
In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.
Every day I'm trying to be more humble and how do you do that? I guess, every day, we have mass. Every day, I pray the rosary. That's what I do.
Faith to me it’s believe without seeing, it’s how you live your life, how you are authentic.
I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.
Conversion is a daily thing.
A woman in Mexico wanted me to heal her. But I can't heal anybody. I just put my hand on her and said, 'Thank you for seeing the film.'
I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.
I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.
Working with Mel Gibson is a little like waltzing with a hurricane. It's always exciting, and you're never quite sure where it's going to take you.
Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.
