What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.

I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.

"How can you see Christ in people?" And we only say: It is an act of faith, constantly repeated. It is an act of love, resulting from an act of faith. It is an act of hope, that we can awaken these same acts in their hearts, too, with the help of God.

To love with understanding and without understanding. To love blindly, and to folly. To see only what is loveable. To think only of these things. To see the best in everyone around, their virtues rather than their faults. To see Christ in them!

No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.

We must always aim for the impossible; if we lower our goal, we also diminish our effort.

It is only through religion that communism can be achieved, and has been achieved over and over.
