The more deeply we grow into the psalms and the more often we pray them as our own, the more simple and rich will our prayer become.

It is God's earth out of which man is taken. From it he has his body. His body belongs to his essential being. Man's body is not his prison, his shell his exterior, but man himself. Man does not "have" a body; he does not "have" a soul; rather he "is" body and soul. Man in the beginning is really his body. He is one. He is his body, as Christ is completely his body, as the Church is the body of Christ

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

If you want my goodness to stay with you then serve your neighbour, for in him God comes to you himself; such a man sees in his neighbour the material and spiritual need he is called to meet.

Death is hell and night and cold, if it is not transformed by our faith. But that is just what is so marvelous, that we can transform death.

Discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ.
