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

If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining; If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.

When we believe that God is something other than a lover, it is inevitable that we will sin.

We are insane. That is what sin is. Sanctity is identitical with sanity. It means living the truth, living in reality. Sin always substitutes unreality for reality.

God's love is as objective as light. Because the sun in a sense is light, or the source of light rather than being lit, it really gives its light to the earth. And because the earth really receives light from the sun, it is really transformed every morning from darkness to light. Just as objectively, because God is love, God really gives love to us. And because we receive real life-changing love from God, we are really transformed from darkness to light.

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

Atheism cheapens everything it touches - look at the results of communism, the most powerful form of atheism on earth.
