Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross.

The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All restlessness, all worry, and anxiety flee before him.

Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.

The limitation of the ethical phenomenon to its place and time does not imply its rejection but, on the contrary, its validation. One does not use canons to shoot sparrows.

Cheap grace is the idea that "grace" did it all for me so I do not need to change my lifestyle. The believer who accepts the idea of "cheap grace" thinks he can continue to live like the rest of the world. Instead of following Christ in a radical way, the Christian lost in cheap grace thinks he can simply enjoy the consolations of his grace.

Comfort the troubled, and trouble the comfortable.

Good Friday and Easter free us to think about other things far beyond our own personal fate, about the ultimate meaning of all life, suffering, and events; and we lay hold of a great hope.
