For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

One great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul, but prayer puts my soul in command of my body.

Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.

We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.
