“Entendemos ahora las palabras de Jesús, que toma del Antiguo Testamento (cf. Dt 8, 3), para rechazar al tentador: «No sólo de pan vive el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios» (Mt 4, 4). Hay una frase al respecto del jesuita alemán Alfred Delp, ejecutado por los nacionalsocialistas: «El pan es importante, la libertad es más importante, pero lo más importante de todo es la fidelidad constante y la adoración jamás traicionada». Cuando no se respeta esta jerarquía de los bienes, sino que se invierte, ya no hay justicia, ya no hay preocupación por el hombre que sufre, sino que se crea desajuste y destrucción también en el ámbito de los bienes materiales.”

“Enter a hall with high ceiling, and you feel small, in a room with low ceiling you feel like a giant. The height of human doesn't depend on numbers, we judge our height relative to the world around. Bigots hate an inclusive world not because it is unorthodox, but because it reminds them, how puny they are - how small.”

“Enter Justine Putet, of whom it is now time to speak. Imagine a swarthy-looking, ill-tempered person, dried-up and of viperish disposition, with a bad complexion, an evil expression, a cruel tongue, defective internal economy, and (over all this) a layer of aggressive piety and loathsome suavity of speech. A paragon of virtue of a kind that filled you with dismay, for virtue in such a guise as this is detestable to behold, and in this instance it seemed to be inspired by a spirit of hatred and vengeance rather than by ordinary feelings of kindness. An energetic user of rosaries, a fervent petitioner at her prayers, but also an unbridled sower of calumny and clandestine panic. In a word, she was the scorpion of Clochemerle, but a scorpion disguised as a woman of genuine piety.”

“Enter the force of gravity. The same force that God created in the beginning together with time and space during the Big Bang. The distribution of matter throughout the universe wasn’t even, and there were space areas where the density was larger than in the other areas. It took millions of years, but over time gravity pulled many of the hydrogen atoms together at such high pressure that the compressed gas attempted to push the atoms apart. It was then a stalemate, the force of gravity bringing the atoms of hydrogen together vs. an opposing force trying to keep the hydrogen atoms apart.”

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it. -Matthew 7:13-14”
