Quote

Atheism is cheap on people, because it snobbishly says nine out of ten people through history have been wrong about God and have had a lie at the core of their hearts.

If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Sin comes from not realizing God's love. Sin comes from thinking ourselves only as sinners, while overcoming sin comes from thinking ourselves as overcomers. We act our our perceived identities.

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?

Of course the more you love the sinner the more you hate and make war on the sin, just as the more you love the person, the more you hate and kill the cancer cells that are killing the person. Compassion for cancer cells does not come from compassion for persons it comes precisely from lack of compassion for persons.

Why pray if we cannot change God? ...is that why we pray? To change omniscient Love? Isn't it rather to learn what it is and to fulfill it? Not to change it by our acts, but to change our acts by it.

Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.

You have an evil twin who is always with you. He is called your ego.

Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
Peter Kreeft
Image
Since we are [Christ's] body, we too are the bread that is broken for others. Our failures help heal other lives our very tears help wipe away tears our being hated helps those we love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.

When a maniac is at the door, feuding brothers reconcile.

If there is a God, there is a map. If God has a map, his map is the true map.

We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.

Joy is not a feeling in us. Joy does not enter into us. We enter into joy: Enter into the joy of your Lord (Mt 25:21).

Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.
Peter Kreeft
Image
In this deed is my hope, not in the mere timeless fact that God is love. I am saved not by the beautiful Trinitarian life of God but by the gory death of God. I am saved not by the touching of the three Persons in Heaven but by the touching of this love on the Cross to my life.

The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.
