Quote

Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.

We need to have the mind of a conservative and the heart of a liberal.

The scripture notion of truth is not an abstract, static, and timeless formula, but is something that comes true in time as the fulfillment of a divine promise. Truth happens in history.

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.

One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.

Anyone, without exception, can know God if they really want to simply by praying, by honestly telling Him that they want to know Him. He always responds to honest seekers. Jesus promised, 'All who seek, find.

In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction.

Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God's single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence.
Peter Kreeft
Image
God calls us, just as he called Abraham, away from the security we knew, out of our old, familiar, little room, down the ladder of faith and into his arms. Jesus called his disciples that way - just as a lover elopes with his beloved.

Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.

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.

Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.

You cannot be in love with love.

Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?

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

In an age that has thrown off all tradition, the only rebellion possible is orthodoxy.

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.
