... there are not two realities, but only one reality, and that is the reality of God, which has become manifest in the Christ event/redemption and creation.

Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.

The Incarnation is the ultimate reason why the service of God cannot be divorced from the service of man.

Destruction of the embryo in the mother's womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed upon this nascent life. To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the issue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a human being and that this nascent human being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but murder.

The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise God-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.

Nothing can be more cruel than the leniency which abandons others to their sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.

A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.
