Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?

Story is the oldest, commonest, most beloved, and most effective form of communication because our life is essentially a story. That's why the Bible is the most realistic of religious books. We can easily ignore or argue away abstractions, but we bump up against concretely real people, things, and events in story, as in life.

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).

It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Thus moral theology leads us four steps deeper than law. To fulfill the moral law, we need love. To get love, we need union with God. To get union with God, we need the new birth. And to get the new birth, we need faith.

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
Peter Kreeft
Image
To those of you who would classify yourselves as conservatives I would say, meditate long and hard on Jesus' saying Whatever you do to the least of these you have done to me.
Peter Kreeft
Image
True love, unlike popular sentimental substitutes, is willing to suffer. Love is not luv. Love is the cross. Our problem at first, the sheer problem of suffering, was a cross without Christ. We must never fall into the opposite and equal trap of a Christ without a cross.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
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.

To worship a crocodile is better to worship yourself.

The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.

Most people believe you have to have some moral absolutes if you want to hold back chaos.

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.
