We Are Made For Christ, And Nothing

A Saint Is Not Someone Who Is Good But Who Experiences The Goodness Of God.

In Explaining The Growth Of His Faith, Psychiatrist Gerald May Writes, "i Know That God Is Loving And That God’s Loving Is Trustworthy. I Know This Directly, Through The Experience Of My Life. There Have Been Plenty Of Times Of Doubt, Especially When I Used To Believe That Trusting God's Goodness Meant I Would Not Be Hurt. But Having Been Hurt Quite A Bit, I Know God's Goodness Goes Deeper Than All Pleasure And Pain It Embraces Them Both." Ruthless Trust, Pg 22

The Ragamuffin Who Sees His Life As A Voyage Of Discovery And Runs The Risk Of Failure Has A Better Feel For Faithfulness Than The Timid Man Who Hides Behind The Law And Never Finds Out Who He Is At All.

The Dominant Characteristic Of An Authentic Spiritual Life Is The Gratitude That Flows From Trust

Though It Is True That The Church Must Always Dissociate Itself From Sin, It Can Never Have Any Excuse For Keeping Any Sinner At A Distance.
