Christlike attributes come into our lives as we exercise our agenncy righteously.

Healing comes when we move away from the darkness and walk towards the light.

Never stop hoping for all of the righteous desires of your heart. But don't close your eyes and hearts to the simple and elegant beauties of each day's ordinary moments that make up a rich, well-lived life

Like the shepherds of old, we need to say in our hearts, “Let us see this thing which is come to pass.” We need to desire it in our hearts. Let us see the Holy One of Israel in the manger, in the temple, on the mount, and on the cross. Like the shepherds, let us glorify and praise God for these tidings of great joy!

To those who have separated themselves from the Church, I say, my dear friends, there is yet a place for you here.

Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. ... He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.

What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.
