Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft

We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.
Peter Kreeft

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft

Grey is the devil's favorite color.
Peter Kreeft

The big, blazing truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles. As Augustine said: Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.

Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.
Peter Kreeft

Humility, humility, humility, and humility.

Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
Peter Kreeft
Image
True love, unlike popular sentimental substitutes, is willing to suffer. Love is not luv. Love is the cross. Our problem at first, the sheer problem of suffering, was a cross without Christ. We must never fall into the opposite and equal trap of a Christ without a cross.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.

To worship a crocodile is better to worship yourself.

Image
The block of marble is not the sculptor, and doesn't see that he's about to become a masterpiece... We're the block of marble and God is the sculptor, and the chisel is.... everything.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.

You cannot be in love with love.
