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

Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before. I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying I wish I had watched more TV instead.'

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 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
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.

Image
A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions - not because his power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.

Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.

The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The rich fop Francis of Assisi was bored all his life-until he fell in love with Christ and gave all his stuff away and became the troubadour of Lady Poverty.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Image
To worship a crocodile is better to worship yourself.

Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Of course the more you love the sinner the more you hate and make war on the sin, just as the more you love the person, the more you hate and kill the cancer cells that are killing the person. Compassion for cancer cells does not come from compassion for persons it comes precisely from lack of compassion for persons.

There is one and only one possible road to joy: selfless love.
Peter Kreeft

Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.

Joy is not a feeling in us. Joy does not enter into us. We enter into joy: Enter into the joy of your Lord (Mt 25:21).
