The deepest healing is the healing of the deepest wound. The deepest wound is the frustration of the deepest need. The deepest need is the need for meaning, purpose, and hope.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term only if we love, do we trust and only if we trust, do we believe.

Every gift requires two freedoms: the giver's and the receiver's.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.

Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
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.
Peter Kreeft

Original sin is the proclivity to say my will be done instead of thy will be done.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Love is the binding force on every level of existence.
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
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
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.
Peter Kreeft

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.

The modern mind always tends to reduce the greater to the lesser rather than seeing the lesser as reflecting the greater.

If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.

Even David Hume, one of history most famous skeptics, said it's just barely possible that God exists.

Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.
