Love properly understood is God—the font of all creation and the ultimate goal of all desires; God properly understood is love.

After my engagement with Muslim friends, I pray more than I used to pray. My prayer life has been enriched by my encounter with some Muslims, encouraged by their devotion and also enriched by the ways in which they pray. Have I compromised in this way at all? No, to the contrary, I've gone deeper in my faith and I think my love for God has been deepened and made more intelligent in a sense, more rich by that very encounter.

There is no space in which worship should not take place, no time when it should not occur, and no activity through which it should not happen.

If you take the 'love your enemy' out of Christianity, you've 'unChristianed' the Christian faith.

Some Jews and Muslims accuse Christians of being idolatrous for believing in the Trinity. My response to both groups is that they fundamentally misunderstand the Christian understanding of the Trinity.

Every word and every deed, every thought and every gesture, even the simple act of paying attention can be a gift and therefore an echo of God’s life in us.

We lead our lives well when we love God with our whole being and when we love neighbors as we (properly) love ourselves.
