We have learnt, rather too late, that action comes, not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.

How would you expect to find community while you intentionally withdraw from it at some point? The disobedient cannot believe; only the obedient believe.

Faith is only real when there is obedience, never without it, and faith only becomes faith in the act of obedience.

There is not a place to which the Christian can withdraw from the world, whether it be outwardly or in the sphere of the inner life. Any attempt to escape from the world must sooner or later be paid for with a sinful surrender to the world.

... there are not two realities, but only one reality, and that is the reality of God, which has become manifest in the Christ event/redemption and creation.

Advent creates people, new people.
