A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.

God doesn't reveal his grand design. He reveals Himself.

Vocation is the place where the world's greatest need and a person's greatest joy meet.

Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens.

Romantic love is blind to everything except what is lovable and lovely, but Christ's love sees us with terrible clarity and sees us whole. Christ's love so wishes our joy that it is ruthless against everything in us that diminishes our joy. The worst sentence Love can pass is that we behold the suffering which Love has endured for our sake, and that is also our acquittal. The justice and mercy of the judge are ultimately one.

A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.
