Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter KreeftPut the Protestant flint and the Catholic steel together, and you will kindle a fire that will burn all around the world.
Peter KreeftSuffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross; the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter KreeftThe love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.
Peter KreeftThe Church is God's Bride. All the saints and mystics say the ultimate purpose of human life, the highest end for which we were made, is the Spiritual Marriage. This is not socially relative; it is eternal. And in it, the soul is spiritually impregnated by God, not vice versa. That is the ultimate reason why God must always be he to us, never she. Religion is essentially heterosexual and therefore fruitful.
