Without God there is a bottomless pit inside of you. You try to fill it with things, but you can never get enough. Only an infinite God can fill a bottomless pit, transforming it into a limitless expanse.

Christ is Everything. He is joy, He is life, He is light. He is the true light who makes man joyful, makes him soar with happiness; makes him see everything, everybody; makes him feel for everyone, to want everyone with him, everyone with Christ.

God belongs to all free beings.
He is the life of all,
the salvation of all—
faithful and unfaithful,
just and unjust,
pious and impious,
healthy and sick,
healthy and sick,
young and old—
just as the diffusion of light,
the sight of the sun,
the sight of the sun,
and the changes of weather
are for all alike;
‘for there is no respect
‘for there is no respect
of persons with God.’
— John Klímakos

Where there is no love, there is no Church. There remains only its external form, a deceit, which repulses people. That is why our churches remain empty, that is why our young people lapse. Lord, help us to become Your Church, not just its appearance.
