The first call which every Christian experiences is the call to abandon the attachments of this world.

Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.

While it is good that we seek to know the Holy One, it is probably not so good to presume that we ever complete the task.

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