Being a Christian is more like having your soul possessed by a spirit than having your mind clothed with new beliefs... It is like being haunted by the Holy Ghost.

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

The national anthem of hell is, "I Did It My Way."

Prayer is essentially the practice of the presence of God, and that is the road to Heaven. There is no alternative. God is the only game in town. All other roads are dead ends. Since we must give our all to the one true God, we must not give any part to idols, to the many false gods that now bite away at our lives.

The solution to our suffering is our suffering!

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

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).
