Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this. Whether it is a brief, single encounter or the daily fellowship of years, Christian community is only this. We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ.

It is the voice of the Church that is heard in singing together. It is not you that sings, it is the Church that is singing, and you, as a member of the Church, may share in its song.

Only what is essential must be said.

Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.

The church is her true self only when she exists for humanity.

Just as our love for God begins with listening to God's Word, the beginning of love for other Christians is learning to listen to them.
