Unblessed are the hypocrites who are proud of their Christianity but fear the devil.

The faith is not the problem, Bernadette. The problem is the faithful.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I believe we are more ready to embrace our lives in the here and now when we are able to recognize the continuity between the immanence of God in our world and eternity. Rather than simply waiting to be liberated to another time or place, we are being invited to collaborate in the healing and redemption of our world.

For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the
supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club.
