Quote

The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.
Peter Kreeft

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.

How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces nice people, not heroes.

Image
The world was won for Christ not by arguments but by sanctity: What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
Now I see that God prefers to work through intermediaries - Mary and the saints. . . He wants us to pray through Mary and not only directly.
Peter Kreeft
Image
One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
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.

For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.

Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.

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

Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
