There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.

Man must choose his world

Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.

There are such things as consecrated griefs, sorrows that may be common to everyone but which take on a special character when accepted intelligently and offered to God in loving submission.

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here awaiting our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.

There cannot be two absolutely free beings in the universe, for sooner or later two completely free wills must collide.

I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.
