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

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

Every call of Christ leads into death.

Love, in the sense of spontaneous, unreflective action, spells the death of the old man.

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

Not everyone can wait: neither the sated nor the satisfied nor those without respect can wait. The only ones who can wait are people who carry restlessness around with them.

The Incarnation is the ultimate reason why the service of God cannot be divorced from the service of man.
