God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.

We must first peer into the darkness, feel strangled and entombed in the hopelessness of living without God, before we are ready to feel the presence of His living light.

We can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn, or scoff at the totality of being.

There is no specialized art of prayer. All of life must be a training to pray. We pray the way we live.

Self-respect is the root of discipline

The issue of prayer is not prayer; the issue of prayer is God.

In the darkest night to be certain of the dawn...to go through Hell and to continue to trust in the goodness of God-this is the challenge and the way.
