“The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.”

Grace can and does have a history.

Knowing God is more important than knowing about God.

The number one cause of atheism is Christians. Those who proclaim Him with their mouths and deny Him with their actions is what an unbelieving world finds unbelievable.

How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like, but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every ‘should’ is a compulsion, and not every ‘like’ is a high morality and true freedom.

What Christ gives us is quite explicit if his own words are interpreted according to their Aramaic meaning. The expression ‘This is my Body’ means this is myself.

Learning always involves self-transcendence. Learning calls forth what is in us, helping us to move toward authenticity and wholeness.

Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise.

When man is with God in awe and love, then he is praying.

In the days ahead, you will either be a mystic (one who has experienced God for real) or nothing at all.

Love alone allows man to forget himself… it alone can still redeem even the darkest hours of the past since it alone finds the courage to believe in the mercy of the holy God.

Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God: Lord, teach us to pray!

Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge

The barrier to success is not something which exists in the real world; it is composed purely and simply of doubts about ability.

Skepticism rather than credulity is the highest principle that the human intellect can use to ennoble our existence.

For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything.

It doesn’t matter who you are. What matters is your plan.

My existence was not random, nor was it an accident. God knew who He was creating, and He designed met for a specific work.

The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.

It’s better to make a difference than to make a point.
