Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft

Faith is the root, the necessary beginning. Hope is the stem, the energy that makes the plant grow. Love is the fruit, the flower, the visible product, the bottom line. The plant of our new life in Christ is one the life of God comes into us by faith, through us by hope, and out of us by the works of love.

Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive
Peter Kreeft

The more we realize we are loved, the more ashamed we are not to love back. The more we sin as a violation of love, not just of law, the more powerful a motive we will have to overcome it. For sin is attractive to us (otherwise we would never be attracted to it) and can be cast out only by something more attractive.
