Our God...is a consuming fire. And if we, by love, become transformed into Him and burn as He burns, His fire will be our everlasting joy. But if we refuse His love and remain in the coldness of sin and opposition to Him and to other men then will His fire (by our own choice rather than His) become our everlasting enemy, and Love, instead of being our joy, will become our torment and our destruction.

Christ is born to us today, in order that he may appear to the whole world through us.

Souls are like athletes, that need opponents worthy of them, if they are to be tried and extended and pushed to the full use of their powers, and rewarded according to their capacity.

The center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth.

Prayer is not so much a way to find God as a way of resting in him...who loves us, who is near to us.

Power always protects the good of some at the expense of all others.

A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless, than one that always verges on despair.
