What would really satisfy us would be a God who said of anything we happened to like doing, 'What does it matter so long as they are contented?'

Love...is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself.

It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good.

My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.

If God were a Kantian, who would not have us till we came to Him from the purest and best motives, who could be saved?

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest, and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship.

Man is to be understood only in his relationship to God.
