Every call of Christ leads into death.

In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.

The Church is the Church only when it exists for others...not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others.

The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.

Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession.... Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
