Peter Kreeft Quotes About Saints

• I think nobody alive today is a more powerful agent of conversion than someone like Mother Teresa. You can refute arguments but not her life. When she came to the National Prayer Breakfast and lectured President Clinton about abortion, he had nothing to say to her. He can't argue with a saint. It's too bad there isn't an easier way, because becoming a saint is not the easiest thing in the world. It's much easier to become an apologist or a philosopher or a theologian.

• Una santa es la esposa de Cristo, totalmente apegada, fiel, dependiente. Un santo es también totalmente independiente, desprendido de los ídolos y de otros esposos... Un santo está más alto que nadie en el mundo. Un santo es el verdadero escalador de montañas. Un santo es también más bajo que cualquier otra persona en el mundo. Como el agua, fluye hasta los lugares más bajos, como Calcuta.

• The Church is God's Bride. All the saints and mystics say the ultimate purpose of human life, the highest end for which we were made, is the Spiritual Marriage. This is not socially relative; it is eternal. And in it, the soul is spiritually impregnated by God, not vice versa. That is the ultimate reason why God must always be he to us, never she. Religion is essentially heterosexual and therefore fruitful.
