“His words on that occasion constantly echo in my ears: ‘Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ!’” (Page xiii)
“Faith is our response to what God reveals. It is not merely the intellectual assent to a revealed truth, which we cannot fully understand; it is the full submission and surrender of our whole self, our intellect and will, to all that He reveals to us.” (Page 3)
“Faith is at the very foundation of the Christian life because it is our response to the invitation of our Creator to have communion with Him. It is through faith that we completely open ourselves to Him and come into relationship with Him.” (Page 3)
“Faith does not contradict reason, it builds upon and perfects it. It takes what we can know through our limited human reason and enables us to understand the truths about God and ourselves on a completely new level.” (Page 10)
“In Baptism we initially receive the Holy Spirit and become children of God and are intimately united to Him” (Page 216)
