Advent creates people, new people.

Principles are only tools in the hands of God; they will soon be thrown away when they are no longer useful.

When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.

But discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ...Christ speaks to us exactly as he spoke to them. It was not as though they first recognized him as the Christ and then received his command. They believed his word and command and recognized him as the Christ--in that order.

All are called to be what in the reality of God they are already.

That fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than that fact that I will die.

The first service that one owes to others consists in listening to them.
