Mental prayer is nothing else but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with Him.

It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.

A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God.
