The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power. Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing Fire, nothing else matters.

Prayer in secret is life finding expression in the realized Presence of God our Father.

Passion does not compensate for ignorance.

In these days there is no time to pray; but without time, and a lot of it, we shall never learn to pray.

Communion is deeper than theology.

True prayer is a lonely business.

The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.
