In the church we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.

The best things that have been written, almost, are by Catholics during the counter Reformation: Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis de Sales, John of the Cross, St. Theresa of Бvila.....great stuff.

If you don't feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.

The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.

Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.

Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.

While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
