Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions.

God has willed that we should seek and find God's living Word in the testimony of other Christians, in the mouths of human beings.

I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.

Where a people prays, there is the church; and where the church is; there is never loneliness.

The earthly form of Christ is the form that died on the cross. The image of God is the image of Christ crucified. It is to this image that the life of the disciples must be conformed; in other words, they must be conformed to his death (Phil 3.10, Rom 6.4) The Christian life is a life of crucifixion (Gal 2.19) In baptism the form of Christ's death is impressed upon his own. They are dead to the flesh and to sin, they are dead to the world, and the world is dead to them (Gal 6.14). Anybody living in the strength of Christ's baptism lives in the strength of Christ's death.

We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know.
