It is a dangerous error, surely very widespread among Christians, to think that the heart can pray by itself.

A home is a kingdom of it's own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary.

Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.

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

Intercessory prayer is the purifying bath into which the individual and the community must enter every day.

In a world where success is the measure and justification of all things the figure of Him who was sentenced and crucified remains a stranger and is at best the object of pity. The world will allow itself to be subdued only by success. It is not ideas or opinions which decide, but deeds. Success alone justifies wrongs done With a frankness and off-handedness which no other earthly power could permit itself, history appeals in its own cause to the dictum that the end justifies the means The figure of the Crucified invalidates all thought which takes success for its standard.

Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
