catholic three-things lovers
If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.
hate opposites indifference
Indifference is more truly the opposite of love than hate is, for we can both love and hate the same person at the same time, but we cannot both love and be indifferent to the same person at the same time.
heart men turns
The heart is like a woman, and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
faith inspiration joy
There is one and only one possible road to joy: selfless love.
dog serious fart
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
opposites atheism theism
The opposite of theism is not atheism, it’s idolatry
prayer love-is praying
Why pray if we cannot change God? ...is that why we pray? To change omniscient Love? Isn't it rather to learn what it is and to fulfill it? Not to change it by our acts, but to change our acts by it.
pain simple listening-to-others
Listening to other people's needs is listening to God. Noticing simple, natural beauty, hearing music, even confronting the challenge of pain and problems - that can all be listening to God too.
order catholic praying
You have to say no to something else, in order to make time to pray.
mean mind ends
An open mind is not an end in itself but a means to the end of finding truth.
faith inspiration heart
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
christian life-changing evil
The church is: a conspiracy of love for a dying world, a spy mission into enemy occupied territory ruled by the powers of evil; a prophet from God with the greatest news the world has ever heard, the most life changing and most revolutionary institution that has existed on earth.
heart mind needs
We need to have the mind of a conservative and the heart of a liberal.
home giving heaven
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.'
