“We do not turn from our false gods to become God's children. We turn from them because we are.”

“How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each Truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.”

“From sunrise to sunset, from one day to the next, till our black hair turns white, we eat, we sleep, we bear children and we watch them grow. We watch them get married and in turn bear children of their own. How time flies, we say to ourselves. Then one day, we look down at our feet and we're surprised. Roots have sprouted in the ground of our daily living.”

“We become side-tracked if we make physical health our aim and imagine that because we are children of God we shall always be perfectly well.”

“We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.”

“When we think of our family, our spouse, parents, or children, let us see them as a gift from God.”
