“So charity is there in the old, charity here in the new. But there charity is more hidden away, fear more out in the open; while here charity is more publicly manifest, fear altogether less. To the extent, you see, that charity grows, fear diminishes. As charity grows, that is, the soul’s sense of security increases; and where there is complete security there is no fear, with John the apostle saying, Consummate charity casts out fear (1 Jn 4:18).” (Pages 120–121)
“So since the human race was so ill, that great doctor takes over the care of the patient lying in a kind of huge bed, that is in the whole world—but just as any very skilled and experienced doctor observes the periods of an illness,30 and takes note and looks forward to what turns it is going to take; and first in the milder stages of the patient’s illness he sends his assistants; in the same way our doctor too first sent the prophets to examine us. They spoke, they preached; through them he cured a certain number, and restored them to health.” (Page 75)
“it isn’t with knots and chains that we find ourselves stuck to the earth” (Page 40)
“Whatever from their past life has been gnawing away at their consciences, whatever has been troubling them, absolutely anything at all, big matter or small, mentionable or unmentionable, they must have no doubt at all that it can be forgiven. Human hesitation must not be allowed to hold against oneself, what God’s compassion wishes to forgive.” (Page 157)
“If you don’t love the idea of being in the kingdom, be afraid of being in the burning furnace of inextinguishable, everlasting fire. Let fear first win the day in you, and then there will be love. Let fear be the nursemaid;13 don’t let it stay in you, but let it lead you on to charity, as to the schoolmaster.” (Pages 112–113)
