Love alone is credible.

The Christian response is contained in these two fundamental dogmas: that of the Trinity and that of the Incarnation. In the trinitarian dogma God is one, good, true, and beautiful because he is essentially Love, and Love supposes the one, the other, and their unity.

We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.

Consequently, Christian meditation is entirely trinitarian and at the same time entirely human. In order to find God, no one need reject being human personally or socially, but in order to find God all must see the world and themselves in the Holy Spirit as they are in God's sight.

Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection.

The saints are never the kind of killjoy spinster aunts who go in for faultfinding and lack all sense of humor.

The greatest tragedy in the history of Christianity was neither the Crusades nor the Reformation nor the Inquisition, but rather the split that opened up between theology and spirituality at the end of the Middle Ages.
