Even David Hume, one of history most famous skeptics, said it's just barely possible that God exists.
Peter Kreeft

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.

The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.

The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.

Great saints are never wimps.

Image
Being a Christian is more like having your soul possessed by a spirit than having your mind clothed with new beliefs... It is like being haunted by the Holy Ghost.

God allows unjust disparities between rich and poor because He does not miraculously intervene to establish justice against human wills. Also, discrepancies are not unjust by themselves justice does not mean equality of result but equality of opportunity.

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.

All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.

You cannot be in love with love.

If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Now I see that God prefers to work through intermediaries - Mary and the saints. . . He wants us to pray through Mary and not only directly.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.'

Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.
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.
