Spiritual Quotes - Religious Quotes

The Infinite and Eternal Spirit appears in different ways. Each one of us has a different visualization, and often different words for Spirit. We share unity with each other and with the same Creator Spirit whether you say God (an English word of Germanic origin), Lord, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Higher Power, The Light, YHWH (Hebrew), Allah (Arabic), Dieu (French), Dios (Spanish), Deus (Latin - until recently the language of all Catholic services worldwide), or any of thousands of other words for Spirit in use around the globe. Feel your Spiritual Nature merge with all Spiritual Beings and with the Infinite Power of Spirit as you contemplate these spiritual sayings and faith quotes.

Honor your being,
release each and every struggle,
gather strength from life's storms,
relax into the arms of spirit.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
