We are known in a depth of darkness through which we ourselves do not even dare to look. And at the same time, we are seen in a height of a fullness which surpasses our highest vision.

The abundance of a grateful heart gives honor to God even if it does not turn to Him in words. An unbeliever who is filled with thanks for his very being has ceased to be an unbeliever.

Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.

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

Every person, every place and every action is qualified by this association with the unconditional; it penetrates every moment of daily life and sanctifies it: "The Universe is God's sanctuary. Every work day is a day of the Lord, every supper is a Lord's supper, every work a fulfillment of the divine task, every joy a joy in God. In all preliminary concerns, ultimate concern is present, consecrating them."

For love ... is the blood of life, the power of reunion in the separated.

Where there is faith there is an awareness of holiness.
