We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.

The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.

If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.

I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.

It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.

True prayer is asking God what He wants.

God himself took this human flesh upon him.
