When we are such as He can love without impediment, we shall in fact be happy.

The only thing one can usually change in one's situation is oneself. And yet one can't change that either-only ask Our Lord to do so.

What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.

The human qualities of the raw materials show through. Naivety, error, contradiction, even (as in the cursing Psalms) wickedness are not removed. The total result is not "the Word of God" in the sense that every passage in itself, gives impeccable science or history. It carries the Word of God.

Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want

Love is more than an emotion, it is a decision.

No emotion is, in itself, a judgement; in that sense all emotions and sentiments are alogical. but they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform. The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
