The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness. Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it.

God's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.

Everything in this world will pass away. In eternity only Love will remain.

Everything is a gift from God: it is only by recognizing this crucial dependence on the Creator that we will find freedom and peace.

If we take the Lord's hand and let ourselves be guided by him, the path we take will be right and good.

The cross reminds us that there is no true love without suffering, there is no gift of life without pain.
