Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.

Jesus was clear that He had come, not to make life easy, but to make men great.

The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.

The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.

The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.

Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.

The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
