The essence of grace, we suppose, is that the account has been paid in advance; and, because it has been paid, everything can be had for nothing.

The fearful danger of the present time is that above the cry for authority, we forget that man stands alone before the ultimate authority, and that anyone who lays violent hands on man here, is infringing eternal laws, and taking upon himself superhuman authority, which will eventually crush him.

It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith.

We have grown so accustomed to the idea of divine love...that we no longer sense the awe that God's coming should awaken in us.

Love asks nothing in return, but seeks those who need it. And who needs our love more than those who are consumed with hatred and are utterly devoid of love.

We are so afraid of silence that we chase ourselves from one event to the next in order not to have to spend a moment alone with ourselves, in order not to have to look at ourselves in the mirror.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.
