Cardinal Robert Sarah: “Sin Blurs Man’s Face”

Cardinal Robert Sarah is a Catholic minister who has stood firm in his faith and for a traditional view of the Gospel. A native of Haiti, he has written numerous books and articles on the Gospel, as well as the church’s role in evangelizing the world. Here are the top 10 of my favorite quotes from Cardinal Robert Sarah:

“Sin blurs man’s face. Now Christ came not only to save mankind but also to repair what sin had broken, to snatch man away from everything that disfigures him, so as to restore to human destiny all its breadth and fulfillment.” – God or Nothing: A Conversation on Faith (2015)

“At the heart of man there is an innate silence, for God abides in the innermost part of every person.” – The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise (2017)

“The Holy Spirit is the One Who, through the imposition of hands and the anointing of the sacred chrism during Confirmation, clothes the Christian with divine strength and makes him become the fragrance of Christ in every place.” – Catechism of the Spiritual Life (2022)

“In our materialistic civilization, man thinks almost exclusively of his own narrow interests. He sees God as the one who ought to provide him with what consumption does not give him. God is utilized to satisfy selfish demands. If he does not answer prayer, they abandon him. Some even go so far as to blaspheme his holy name. The religion that ought to connect heaven and earth then runs the risk of becoming a purely narcissistic space.” – The Day Is Now Far Spent (2019)

“God is still calling as many men as in the past; it is the men whose hearing is not what it used to be.” – God or Nothing: A Conversation on Faith (2015)

“At the heart of man there is an innate silence, for God abides in the innermost part of every person.” – The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise (2017)

“Just as when we were children, we were afraid to be alone in the dark and could only be assured by the presence of someone who loved us. Well this is exactly what happened on Holy Saturday, the voice of God resounded in the realm of death. The unimaginable occurred; namely, love penetrated Hell.”

“Man’s dignity is an echo of God’s transcendence.” – The Day Is Now Far Spent (2019)

“After his encounter with Jesus, a real Christian changes his conduct.” – God or Nothing: A Conversation on Faith (2015)

“Man controls his hours of activity if he knows how to enter into silence. The life of silence must be able to precede the active life.” – The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise (2017)
