My father prayed because he had a good friend with whom to share the problems of the day.

No pit is so deep that He is not deeper still; with Jesus even in our darkest moments, the best remains and the very best is yet to be.

If Jesus were born one thousand times in Bethlehem and not in me, then I would still be lost.

I soon discovered that man's importunity is God's opportunity. he uses our problems as building materials for his miracles. I began to understand that this was my first lesson in learning to trust him completely, my first steps on the path to complete dependence on, and obedience to, his guidance.

Child, you have to learn to see things in the right proportions. Learn to see great things great and small things small.

You never so touch the ocean of God's love as when you forgive and love your enemies.

You see, a potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.
