The invisible is present in the visible
Blessed are the poor and the not so poor
Our hearts will not rest until they rest in God
Grateful means transformation within and without
Last judgment has already begun
Forgive in order to be forgiven
The kingdom of God is more about generosity than justice
God loves us not out of justice but mercy and generosity
Believers can reject God through resistances
Acting with mercy is more important than doing it right
Believers can be paying lip service to God
Earthly matters are not so significant as heavenly ones
Law means love
What we say and do versus who we are
It is more about being rather than about earning
Watchful means embrace uncertainties
Be open-minded, nonjudgmental, and unprejudiced
Living in the now
For nothing will be impossible for God
God is not at the top but at the bottom
Even believers will have to search for God
Suffering and humiliation will lead to a now-resurrection
Faith is more important than healing
Forgiveness is as unconditional as love
The kingdom of heaven is in your cross.
