Things that are good are good, and if one is responding to that goodness one is in contact with a truth from which one is getting something. The truth is doing us good. The truth of the sunshine, the truth of the rain, the truth of the fresh air, the truth of the wind in the trees, these are truths. And they are always accessible!

Weaknesses and deficiencies . . . play a most important part in all our lives. It is because of them that we need others and others need us. We are not all weak in the same spots, and so we supplement and complete one another, each one making up in himself for the lack in another.

....it is of the very essence of Christianity to face suffering and death not because they are good, not because they have meaning, but because the resurrection of Jesus has robbed them of their meaning.

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

I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

I myself am part of the weather and part of the climate and part of the place … It is certainly part of my life of prayer.

Duty does not have to be dull. Love can make it beautiful and fill it with life.
