“It was the Lord who put it into my mind…I could feel His hand upon me…There is no question the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures…
No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior if it is just and if the intention is purely for His Holy service. The Gospel must still be preached to so many lands in such a short time. This is what convinces me.”
from Christopher Columbus’ diary in reference to his discovery of “the New World”
