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.

Diversion and indifference are the two widest roads to Hell in today's world.

Without that freedom to sin there is also no freedom to love.

Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.

Gratitude is the seedbed of joy.

It is reasonable to love the Absolute absolutely for the same reason it is reasonable to love the relative relatively.

Our only qualitifcation for God's grace is our emptiness, not our fullness; our undeservingness, not our deservingness.
