I have said before, and I shall say again, that I write this book for love of your love.

We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist; we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist.

Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love; or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love; if you spare, spare for love.

If we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things.

We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.

The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.

You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world; don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away; the world is losing its grip; the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'
