Truth does grow, but it grows homogenously, like an acorn into an oak…The nature of certain things is fixed, and none more so than the nature of truth. Truth may be contradicted a thousand times, but that only proves that it is strong enough to survive a thousand assaults.

He seeks us before we dream of seeking him; he knocks before we invite him in; he loves us before we respond.

The true notion is that the material universe is a sign or an indication of what God is. We look at the purity of the snowflake and we see something of the goodness of God. The world is full of poetry: it is sin which turns it into prose.

Our blessed Lord was hopeful about humanity. He always saw men the way He originally designed them. He saw through the surce, grime, and dirt to the real man underneath. He never identified a person with sin. He saw sin a something alien and foreign which did not belong to man. Sin had mastered man but he could be freed from it to be his real self. Just as every mother sees her own image and likeness on her child’s face, so God always saw the divine image and likeness beneath us.

It is the possibility of saying ‘no’ which gives so much charm to the heart when it says ‘yes.’ A victory may be celebrated only on those fields in which a battle may be lost. Hence, in the divine order of things, God mad a world in which a man and women would rise to moral heights, not by that blind driving power which makes the sun rise each morning but rather by the exercise of that freedom in which one may fight the good fight and enjoy the reward of victory–for no one shall be crowned unless he has struggled.
