The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.

Only reckless confidence in a Source greater than ourselves can empower us to forgive the woulds inflicted by others.

Ragamuffins are simple, direct and honest. Their speech is unaffected. They are slow to claim, "God told me..." As they make their way through the world, they bear wordless, prophetic witness.

Though it is true that the church must always dissociate itself from sin, it can never have any excuse for keeping any sinner at a distance.

For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ.

Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become.

Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others.
