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

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.

The man who has not suffered - what does he know anyway?

It is not enough for me to ask question; I want to know how to answer the one question that seems to encompass everything I face: What am I here for?

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

Our age is one in which usefulness is thought to be the chief merit of nature; in which the attainment of power, the utilization of its resources is taken to be the chief purpose of man in God's creation. Man has indeed become primarily a tool-making animal, and the world is now a gigantic tool box for the satisfaction of his needs.

To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.
