The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term; only if we love, do we trust; and only if we trust, do we believe.

Cats don't need to be possessed; they're evil on their own.

It is mercy, not justice or courage or even heroism, that alone can defeat evil.

It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.

Our destiny is to be so intimately united with God that, as the mystics say, we not only see God's face but also see with God's face.

In this deed is my hope, not in the mere timeless fact that God is love. I am saved not by the beautiful Trinitarian life of God but by the gory death of God. I am saved not by the touching of the three Persons in Heaven but by the touching of this love on the Cross to my life.

The scripture notion of truth is not an abstract, static, and timeless formula, but is something that comes true in time as the fulfillment of a divine promise. Truth happens in history.
