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

It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.

Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests.

Prayer is like Thanksgiving dinner. It takes one hour to eat it and ten hours to prepare it.

Sinners think they are saints, but saints know they are sinners.

Thus moral theology leads us four steps deeper than law. To fulfill the moral law, we need love. To get love, we need union with God. To get union with God, we need the new birth. And to get the new birth, we need faith.

We need to have the mind of a conservative and the heart of a liberal.
