“Paul's humble and fervent prayer feeds into this high-voltage current that makes a mockery of geographical distances, ethnic boundaries and political structures.”

“Music also makes dry wood and donkey skin sing. And it makes tangible the subtle connections between the spirit, bodies and things, which we never tire of seeking, with all due respect to the mathematicians of sensory well-being.”

“Against the backdrop of the manifest crisis in the Western (and therefore global) 'financial system', the contrast between the 'fragility' of money and the solidity of the 'Word of God' appears with the striking clarity of plain evidence.”

“Money has its own 'inherent' voracity. At a certain point, it develops the insane tendency to eat itself, in order to nourish itself and multiply more quickly.”

“Unlike 'magic' words, the 'Word of God' presents itself to the 'intelligibility' of upright people, so that they may discern their greatest riches.”

“In the transition from the justice of war to a just peace, we must not forget the sacrosanct reasons for safeguarding the defenceless and protecting the powerless.”

“We believe, without hesitation, in praying for protection and in calling on God to enlighten minds and bring shame to hearts.”

“We believe in the power of a faith that freely dares to submit itself to the test of the greatest love.”

“Because, thanks to God, every time a single human being frees themselves from evil, many, many more will find the courage to keep it at bay.”

“Then there are believers who start asking themselves: 'What does Mass give me?' Some (the younger ones) are drifting away. For the sake of 'consistency'. What is the point of doing something out of mere duty if, in reality, I feel it means nothing to me? It's better to do something for others. That's right. In fact, celebrating the Eucharist as an alternative to practising charity is a sign of a barren life (and indeed, I have yet to see anyone who, by saving on Mass, increases their charity towards their neighbour by even a good half an hour). Others (who are older) develop a kind of resignation, not without the hope that something might eventually happen. They go to Mass out of 'respect' for religion. When they can, of course. After all, what is the point of trying to engage your life in the celebration of the Eucharist, when life's problems are of a completely different nature? That's right. That's right, because without a connection to life, the sacrament becomes a dead ritual. And everyone is minding their own business.”

“For A. (Adrienne von Speyr)'s Christian and spiritual life, her knowledge of the theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar is undoubtedly crucial. He [...] brings together [...] her insights, her meditations and her extraordinary experiences of identification in relation to many aspects of the Christian mystery (especially concerning the Passion of Christ, the prayer of the saints, the 'mutual obedience of love' of the Trinitarian Persons, and the mystical self-denial for the sake of the Church). Overall, A.'s special spiritual vocation can be broadly recognised in her unique progression from mystical.”

“This man is an open letter, speaking directly from the peripheries of the world. An open letter that arrives at the perfect moment, precisely timed to the millimetre. Brother Charles de Foucauld, 'le petit frère Charles', is an open letter to the many seemingly invisible men and women who have kept alive a very special faith in the evangelical work of sowing seeds. It is a dedication that is consumed by a passion for humanity, reaching deep into the very heart of the earth inhabited by our species, so tender when it is tender, so hard when it is hard. It is an appreciation of that miraculous tenacity – not ostentatious, not arrogant, not violent, yet invincible – of the living thread that is the divine origin of humanity, capable of permeating the desert, the tarmac, the rubble, and even the refuse. The most populated parts of today's human city.”
