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.

The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community.

No one should be surprised at the difficulty of faith, if there is some part of his life where he is consciously resisting or disobeying the commandment of Jesus. Is there some part of your life which you are refusing to surrender at his behest, some sinful passion, maybe, or some animosity, some hope, perhaps your ambition or your reason? ... How can you hope to enter into communion with him when at some point in your life you are running away from him?

Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.

It seems to me more important actually to share someones distress than to use smooth words about it.

The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.

The Church is the Church only when it exists for others...not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others.
