To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.
Peter Kreeft
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
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family.
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.

Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. [...] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).

If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
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
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.

Image
There are relatively few atheists among neurologists and brain surgeons and astrophysicists, but many among psychologists, sociologists, and historians. The reason seems obvious: the first study divine design, the second study human undesign.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Why pray if we cannot change God? ...is that why we pray? To change omniscient Love? Isn't it rather to learn what it is and to fulfill it? Not to change it by our acts, but to change our acts by it.

Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If there is a God, there is a map. If God has a map, his map is the true map.
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
If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.

Grey is the devil's favorite color.

A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
