You see, God just will not let us flunk out of His school of love. He insists on remedial lessons until we get it right. For this whole world is a school set up by Love Himself to teach us to love.

I want to give moral relativism the good spanking it deserves.

All of history is a kind of broken marriage and God puts it back together again.

Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.

A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.

A God who did not abolish suffering-worse , a God who abolished sin precisely by suffering-is a scandal to the modern mind.

We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.
