Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.

Where there is faith there is an awareness of holiness.

There is no love which does not become help.

In the depth of the anxiety of having to die is the anxiety of being eternally forgotten.

The first duty of love is to listen.

Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness.

Fear is the absence of faith.
