“How should we respond when we find the Word perplexing or dry or boring or unappealing? We keep eating. We receive nourishment. We keep listening and learning and taking our daily bread.”
― Tish Harrison Warren, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life

“There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.”
― C. S. Lewis

“It is true: God disturbs our comfortable day-to-day existence.”
― Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI

“For my own part I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await many others. I believe that many who find that “nothing happens” when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.”
― Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation: Saint Athanasius
