The Phenomenon of Man (1955)

What paralyzes life is lack of faith and lack of audacity. The difficulty lies not in solving problems but expressing them.

At the heart of our universe, each soul exists for God, in our Lord.

The Divine Milieu (1960)

All the communions of all men now living are one communion.
All the communions of all men, present, past and future, are one communion.
