The greatest moment of your life is now. This moment is God's irreplaceable gift to you.

Spiritual transformation is not a matter of trying harder, but of training wisely.

There is no way for a human being to come to God that does not involve surrender.

True joy, as it turns out, comes only to those who have devoted their lives to something greater than personal happiness. This is most visible in extraordinary lives, in saints and martyrs. But it is no less true for ordinary people like us.

The entire life of Jesus isn't the story of somebody climbing up a ladder; it's a picture of someone coming down-a series of demotions. The problem with spending our lives climbing up the ladder is that we will go right past Jesus, for He's coming down.

If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.

Our beliefs are not just estimates of probabilities. They are also the instruments that guide our actions.
