We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts. How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive from Him the little things?

Christianity preaches the infinite worth of that which is seemingly worthless and the infinite worthlessness of that which is seemingly so valued.

I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.

While it is good that we seek to know the Holy One, it is probably not so good to presume that we ever complete the task.

The Incarnation is the ultimate reason why the service of God cannot be divorced from the service of man.

God loves human beings. God loves the world. Not an ideal human, but human beings as they are; not an ideal world, but the real world. . .

. . . What we find repulsive in their opposition to God, what we shrink back from with pain and hostility… this is for God the ground of unfathomable love.
