It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.
About This Quote
Interpretation
The speaker describes finding comfort in a personal, devotional Christianity: approaching Christ with “humble and child-like faith,” recalling Christ’s suffering and death “for me,” and trusting in divine “love and compassion.” The emphasis is on inward consolation rather than doctrinal argument—an affective piety that frames human anxiety or hardship as bearable when set against the Passion and the believer’s intimate relationship with God. As a quotation attributed to Mozart, it is often used to underscore his reputed religiosity and the spiritual dimension sometimes associated with his sacred works; however, without a verifiable primary source, it should be treated cautiously as a pious sentiment that may reflect later paraphrase or misattribution.
