Religion has become an impersonal affair, an institutional loyalty. It survives on the level of activities rather than in the stillness of commitment.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

I am commanded therefore I am.

The tragedy of religion is partly due to its isolation from life, as if God could be segregated.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.

Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow and to ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehoods. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy the promise, the hope, the vision.

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