Only the suffering God can help.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.

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.

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

Monastic life thus became a living protest against the secularization of Christianity, against the cheapening of grace.

Comfort the troubled, and trouble the comfortable.
