The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.

Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, are things Christ unsparingly condemned. Destitute of fire, they are nothing more than a godless philosophy, an ethical system, and a superstition.

The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no power.

Hurry is the death of Prayer.

Passion does not compensate for ignorance.

The Church gives more time, thought, and money to recreation and sport than to prayer.

There is no better way to serve others than to pray for them. There is nothing about which I do not pray. I go over all my life in the presence of God. All my problems are solved there.
