Then fear will grow pale and fade away, and you will be free, through your faith in our strong and living Savior, Jesus Christ.

A day without morning and evening prayers and personal intercessions is actually a day without meaning or importance.

Still more pathetic is the total collapse of moral fanaticism. Fanatics think that their single-minded principles qualify them to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull they rush at the red cloak instead of the person who is holding it; he exhausts himself and is beaten. He gets entangled in non-essentials and falls into the trap set by cleverer people.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating.

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

Just as God's love entered the world, thereby submitting to the misunderstanding and ambiguity that characterize everything worldly, so also Christian love does not exist anywhere but in the worldly, in an infinite variety of concrete worldly action, and subject to misunderstanding and condemnation. Every attempt to portray a Christianity of 'pure' love purged of worldly 'impurities' is a false purism and perfectionism that scorns God's becoming human and falls prey to the fate of all ideologies. God was not too pure to enter the world.

The right way to pray is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.
