Our religious activities should be ordered in such a way as to have plenty of time for the cultivation of the fruits of solitude and silence.

A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.

The Universal Presence is a fact. God is here. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who love has for thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures.

No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do; that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.
