God never told the Israelites to kill the Canaanites. The Israelites believed that God told them to kill the Canaanites.
“...the human race has received the dignity of God's image at the beginning of creation, whereas the perfection of God's likeness is reserved for the end.”

“I also ought to investigate my faculties. What are their movements, what is their function according to ghe divine plan? How does the intellect work? By what means does the soul lose its way and by what means does it return to the right road?”

“...their spiritual reading of the Bible, a reading understood as a means to salvation, an initiation into the Light, an approach to communion with the Living One, teaches us to be on our guard against two dangers. On the one hand, to beware of the dryness of a certain biblical exegesis today which offers, or claims to offer, exactness at the expense of the living nature of the message. On the other, to beware of the subjectivism which merely comes down to a certain virtuosity in playing the strings off the human psyche, giving the believer the suggestion of 'doing the truth in love' without giving any love for the truth, still less the truth itself.”

“The first stage of this tranquility consists in silencing the lips when the heart is excited. The second, in silencing the mind when the soul is still excited. The goal is a perfect peacefulness even in the middle of a raging storm.”

“We cannot be saved by seeking just our own individual salvation; we need to look first to the good of others.
In warfare, the soldier who takes to flight to save his own skin brings disaster on himself as well as on the others, whereas the good soldier who takes up arms on behalf of his comrades saves his own life along with theirs.”
