“Lastly, the care with which a gardener directs water to cause plants to flourish should be seen as instructive of how a husband should care for his wife and family. One does not grasp or force water, and neither can a man grasp or force his wife.”

“The church is the heart of the world, and the liturgy of Word and Sacrament is the heart of the church. Which means the central cultural and political work of the church is to hear and do the word of the Lord and to eat, drink, sing, and rejoice at His table.

The kingdom of God is the cosmic tree in which the nations find shelter. It is the church against which even the gates of hell shall not prevail.”
