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.

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.

Reason alone cannot give you a whole steak, but it sure helps with identifying bologna.

You cannot be in love with love.

The church is: a conspiracy of love for a dying world, a spy mission into enemy occupied territory ruled by the powers of evil; a prophet from God with the greatest news the world has ever heard, the most life changing and most revolutionary institution that has existed on earth.

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.

Whoever marries the spirit of the times must soon become a widower.
