Quote

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.

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

Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.

We sin because we see sin as a bargain. We unconsciously calculate that it’s worth it, that it pays.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.

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.

Story is the oldest, commonest, most beloved, and most effective form of communication because our life is essentially a story. That's why the Bible is the most realistic of religious books. We can easily ignore or argue away abstractions, but we bump up against concretely real people, things, and events in story, as in life.

Cats don't need to be possessed they're evil on their own.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Our judgements of good and evil ... presuppose God as the standard. If there's no God, there's neither good nor evil. There's just nature doing what it does

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.

All of history is a kind of broken marriage and God puts it back together again.
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.

Ethics without virtue is an illusion. What is the highest purpose of ethics? It is to make a person good, that is virtuous.

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

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