Advent creates people, new people.

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

While we exert ourselves to grow beyond our humanity, to leave the human behind us, God becomes human; and we must recognize that God wills that we be human, real human beings. While we distinguish between pious and godless, good and evil, noble and base, God loves real people without distinction.

It is the fellowship of the Cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.

Desires repeatedly mastered for the sake of present duty make us richer. Lack of desire is poverty.

Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

Every call of Christ leads into death.
