Real faith means holding ourselves open to the unconditional mystery which we encounter in every sphere of our life and which cannot be comprised in any formula. Real faith means the ability to endure life in the face of this mystery.

When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.

One who truly meets the world goes out also to God.

Meet the world with the fullness of your being, and you shall meet God. Of you wish to believe, love.

I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue.

Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other…. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.

Nothing so tends to mask the face of God as religion; it can be a substitute for God himself.
