A real Christian in an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge.

True faith is never found alone; it is accompanied by expectation.

God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

We must invite the Cross to do its deadly work within before we can be free.

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one.

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.
