It saddens me that Christians need to be reminded that awe is owed also to those who disagree with them, who believe otherwise than they do.

. . . there is an absolute disjunction between our Father's love and our deserving.

Vision sometimes comes in a memory.

We are part of a mystery, a splendid mystery within which we must attempt to orient ourselves if we are to have a sense of our own nature.

The Lord is more constant and far more extravagant than it seems to imply. Wherever you turn your eyes the world can shine like transfiguration. You don't have to bring a thing to it except a little willingness to see. Only, who could have the courage to see it?

Love is holy because it is like grace--the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.

...if you ever wonder what you've done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God's grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle.
