Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.

A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.

Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
