Quote

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

Image
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.

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
The self is like a baseball. Throw it back to the divine pitcher who pitched it to you in the first place, and the game of love goes on. Hold it, and the game is over. That is the difference between Heaven and Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
Image
All of history is a kind of broken marriage and God puts it back together again.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
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
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.
