As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?

Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.

Prayer does not change God; it changes me.

Prayer in the sense of petition, asking for things, is a small part of it; confession and penitence are its threshold, adoration its sanctuary, the presence and vision and enjoyment of God its bread and wine.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
