The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

Prayer is God's answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.

The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.
