The one thing we owe absolutely to God is never to be afraid of anything.

What great faith our Lord Jesus Christ asks of us - and how just that is. Do we not owe him such faith? It looks impossible to us, but Jesus is Master of the impossible.

Above all, always see Jesus in every person, and consequently treat each one not only as an equal and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility, respect and selfless generosity.

To love anyone is to hope in him for always. From the moment at which we begin to judge anyone, to limit our confidence in him, from the moment at which we identify him with what we know of him and so reduce him to that, we cease to love him and he ceases to be able to be better.

The one thing we owe absolutely to God is never to be afraid of anything.

The absence of risk is a sure sign of mediocrity.

Anything that doesn't lead us to that - to better know and serve God - is a waste of time.
