The opposite of Christianity is not atheism, but idolatry.

It is just as crazy not to be crazy about Christ as it is to be crazy about anything else.

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.

Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, "I am." We are ontological oxymorons.

Now I see that God prefers to work through intermediaries - Mary and the saints. . . He wants us to pray through Mary and not only directly.

Joy is not a feeling in us. Joy does not enter into us. We enter into joy: "Enter into the joy of your Lord" (Mt 25:21).

The big, blazing truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles. As Augustine said: Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.
