"By estranging ourselves from the only source of true life, we confine ourselves to this present life which is, in the words of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, ‘a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.’"
-“The Life” by Clark Carlton
Man’s collective act of suicide.
"…For God, who ‘wishes all to be saved and to come to the recognition of the truth’ [1 Tim 2.4], shows the most perfect and blessed way of salvation here—I mean the way of love. For some there is salvation by fear: we contemplate the threat of punishment in hell and so avoid evil. Further, there are those who, because of the hope of the reward held out for a life piously lived, conduct themselves virtuously. They do not possess the good out of love but by the expectation of a recompense. On the other hand, the person who is hastening to spiritual perfection rejects fear."
The Life of Moses by St. Gregory of Nyssa
"The all-good Providence of God always arranges what is most beneficial for us,
while in our ignorance,
we very often strive for the very opposite."
while in our ignorance,
we very often strive for the very opposite."

"If you want to know who God is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what it means to be human, look at Jesus. If you want to know what love is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what grief is, look at Jesus. And go on looking until you’re not just a spectator, but you’re actually part of the drama which has him as the central character."
