Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.

A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.

We must continue to pursue the thought that we do not merely belong to the Kingdom - the Kingdom belongs to us.

The opponent strikes you on your cheek, and you strike him on the heart by your amazing spiritual audacity in turning the other cheek. You wrest the offensive from him by refusing to take his weapons, by keeping your own, and by striking him in his conscience from a higher level. He hits you physically, and you hit him spiritually.

While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.

A road that perhaps more than any other leads to self atrophy is undedicated money.

When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
