Let no one think he can be totally indifferent to God in this life and suddenly develop a capacity for Him at the moment of death.

We lose our souls not only be the evil we do but also by the good we leave undone.

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.
