Prayer begins where our power ends.

Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time.

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

A soul can create only when alone.

Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.

...morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.

Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.
