The Only Revenge Which Is Essentially Christian

You Reap What You Sow — Not Something Else, But That. An Act Of Love Makes The Soul More Loving. A Deed Of Humbleness Deepens Humbleness. The Thing Reaped Is The Very Thing Sown, Multiplied A Hundred Fold. You Have Sown A Seed Of Life, You Reap Life Everlasting.

Christ's Miracles Were Vivid Manifestations To The Senses That He Is The Saviour Of The Body--and Now As Then The Issues Of Life And Death Are In His Hands--that Our Daily Existence Is A Perpetual Miracle. The Extraordinary Was Simply A Manifestation Of God's Power In The Ordinary.

The Mistake We Make Is To Look For A Source Of Comfort In Ourselves: Self-contemplation, Instead Of Gazing Upon God. In Other Words, We Look For Comfort Precisely Where Comfort Never Can Be.

We Are Too Much Haunted By Ourselves, Projecting The Central Shadow Of Self On Everything Around Us. And Then Comes The Gospel To Rescue Us From This Selfishness. Redemption Is This, To Forget Self In God.

A Life Of Prayer Is A Life Whose Litanies Are Ever Fresh Acts Of Self-devoting Love.
