The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.

One drop of eternity is of greater weight than a vast ocean of finite things.

To be a Christian and to pray are one and the same thing; it is a matter that cannot be left to our caprice. It is a need, a kind of breathing necessary to life.

Grace creates liberated laughter. The grace of God...is beautiful, and it radiates joy and awakens humor.

Humor is the opposite of all self-admiration and self-praise.

Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

Faith is never identical with piety even if it were the purest and finest.
