There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

The whole idea of the prayers of the saints is that God's holiness, God's purpose, God's ways may be brought about irrespective of who comes or goes.

When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.

To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.
