God has brought me to Kentucky...the precise place he has chosen for my sanctification.

If you want to have a spiritual life you must unify your life. A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all.

The only influence that can really upset the injustice and iniquity of men is the power that breathes in the Christian tradition, renewing our participation in the Life that is the Light of men.

There is no greater disaster in the spiritual life than to be immersed in unreality, for life is maintained and nourished in us by our vital relation with realities outside and above us.

We are obliged to love one another. We are not strictly bound to 'like' one another. Love governs the will: 'liking' is a matter of sense and sensibility. Nevertheless, if we really love others it will not be too hard to like them also.

The degradation of the sense of symbol in modern society is one of its many signs of spiritual decay.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
