Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.

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

We are trying not so much to make God listen to us as to make ourselves listen to him; we are trying not to persuade God to do what we want, but to find out what he wants us to do. It so often happens that in prayer we are really saying, 'Thy will be changed,' when we ought to be saying, 'Thy will be done.' The first object of prayer is not so much to speak to God as to listen to him.

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ; it is also commitment to his demands.

The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.

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.

Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.
