We can't avoid reasoning; we can only avoid doing it well.

You have to say no to something else, in order to make time to pray.

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

If we rely on anything else besides faith to maintain the practice of the presence of God, we will certainly fail, whether this is our feelings, or experiences, or sincerity, or good intentions, or reasonings, or plans. The reason these things will fail while faith will not fail is that all these things depend on us, while faith depends on God. It is a gift of God.

Put the Protestant flint and the Catholic steel together, and you will kindle a fire that will burn all around the world.

Every gift requires two freedoms: the giver's and the receiver's.

Our soul, like Mary's body, is to receive God Himself if only we, like her, believe, consent and receive; if only we speak her truly magic word fiat, "let it be." It is the creative word, the word God used to create the universe.
