Our lives are a response to a love that we already have received.

Life is funny and we are really funny, especially when we get to be hoity toity; we can be so ridiculous. Life is fun.

We inhabit a universe that is characterized by diversity.

There are people who go to bed hungry, and that is unconscionable.

A person is a person through other persons. None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are. A person is entitled to a stable community life, and the first of these communities is the family.

Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.

Each person is a V.S.P. (a Very Special Person) because we are each created in the image of God.
