I'm so, so thrilled that [Pope Francis] is there at this crucial moment in the history of our world.

God says "This is what I would love you to be, but I am not going to constrain you. I want it to be your choice." And it is a fantastic thing because even at the moment when I am making the choice to reject God, I would depend from moment to moment, you know that beautiful image of God creating by breathing God's breath into this lump of clay, making it a human being.

God is trying to woo us into a love affair with God.

I don't struggle to forgive people. I find it quite easy to forgive people for the harms that they have inflicted on me. What I do find challenging is to forgive people for the harms they inflict on my daughters and family. So, I find it challenging when I see somebody else experience hurt. I also look at my children and family and then I realize, I don't stand inside their skin and that is for me a forgiveness practice I still need to engage in.

God says, 'You know what? I don't have anybody else... except you.'

You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.
