Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.

Only in love can I find you, my God. In love the gates of my soul spring open, allowing me to breathe a new air of freedom and forget my own petty self. In love my whole being streams forth out of the rigid confines of narrowness and anxious self-assertion, which make me a prisoner of my own poverty emptiness. In love all the powers of my soul flow out toward you, wanting never more to return, but to lose themselves completely in you, since by your love you are the inmost center of my heart, closer to me than I am to myself.

The struggle against atheism is foremost and of necessity a struggle against the inadequacy of our own theism.

Love alone allows man to forget himself... it alone can still redeem even the darkest hours of the past since it alone finds the courage to believe in the mercy of the holy God.

In the days ahead, you will either be a mystic (one who has experienced God for real) or nothing at all.

Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.

Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God: Lord, teach us to pray!
