Each particular being, in its individuality, its concrete nature and entity, with all its own characteristics and its private qualities and its own inviolable identity, gives glory to God by being precisely what He wants it to be here and now, in the circumstances ordained for it by His Love and His infinite Art.

Love is its own reward.

We stumble and fall constantly, even when we are most enlightened.

The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds

Living is not thinking. Thought is formed and guided by objective reality outside us. Living is the constant adjustment of thought to life and life to thought in such a way that we are always growing, always experiencing new things in the old and old things in the new. Thus life is always new.

For our duties and our needs, in all the fundamental things for which we were created, come down in practice to the same thing.

Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person: a false Self. We are not very good at recognizing illusions, least of all the ones we cherish about ourselves.
