Original sin is the proclivity to say "my will be done" instead of "thy will be done."

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.

Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?

In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.

Listening to other people's needs is listening to God. Noticing simple, natural beauty, hearing music, even confronting the challenge of pain and problems - that can all be listening to God too.

Intellectuals resist faith longer because they can: where ordinary people are helpless before the light, intellectuals are clever enough to spin webs of darkness around their minds and hide in them. That's why only Ph.D.s believe any of the 100 most absurd ideas in the world such as Absolute Relativism, or the Objective Truth of Subjectivism, of the Meaningfulness of Meaninglessness and the Meaninglessness of Meaning, which is the best definition of Deconstructionism I know.

Your heart is like an infinitely large hole, and only God is big enough to fill it.
