Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. Forgiving means abandoning your right to pay back the perpetrator in his own coin.

Mother Teresa, you could say many things about her, but certainly you would not say she was macho. Anything but.

I give great thanks to God that he has created a Dalai Lama. Do you really think, as some have argued, that God will be saying: 'You know, that guy, the Dalai Lama, is not bad. What a pity he's not a Christian'? I don't think that is the case - because, you see, God is not a Christian.

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

Our Lord wanted us to be Christ-like. Christ-like doesn't mean not having faults. It means that you do actually have a capacity to draw out the good that is in others.

Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.

There can be no healing without truth.
