We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order.

We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely - and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.

Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.

God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.

When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.” No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.

There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.
