Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.

The more we realize we are loved, the more ashamed we are not to love back. The more we sin as a violation of love, not just of law, the more powerful a motive we will have to overcome it. For sin is attractive to us (otherwise we would never be attracted to it) and can be cast out only by something more attractive.

It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
