Calamity, war, famine, plague, death, adversity, disease, injury do not necessarily produce repentance. We may become better in a calamity but it does not necessarily make us repent. The essence of repentance is that we cannot be repentant until we confront our own self righteousness with God's righteousness.

In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.

So long as there are poor, - I am poor, - So long as there are prisons, - I am a prisoner, - So long as there are sick, - I am weak, - So long as there is ignorance, - I must learn the truth, - So long as there is hate, - I must love, - So long as there is hunger, - I am famished. - Such is the identification Our Divine Lord would have us make with all whom He made in love and for love.

Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.

You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.

God could not keep, as it were, the secret of His love, and the telling of it was creation.

Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.
