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.

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

But there is yet another form of this hidden heresy, and, paradoxically, it can affect those who are proudest of their long-standing and unimpeachable orthodoxy; heresy in the form of indifference.

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

For it is the bitter grief of theology and its blessed task, too, always to have to seek (because it does not clearly have present to it at the time)...always providing that one has the courage to ask questions, to be dissatisfied, to think with the mind and heart one ACTUALLY has, and not with the mind and heart one is SUPPOSED TO have.

The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.

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