Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.

Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.

If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.

Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.

The first rule for prayer, the most important first step, is not about how to do it, but to just do it not to perfect and complete it but to begin it. Once the car is moving, it's easy to steer it in the right direction, but it's much harder to start it up when it's stalled. And prayer is stalled in our world.

Every gift requires two freedoms: the giver's and the receiver's.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft

Humility, humility, humility, and humility.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.
Peter Kreeft

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.

Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.

In an age that has thrown off all tradition, the only rebellion possible is orthodoxy.
