I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.

Ultimate seriousness in not without a dose of humor.

A pastor who does not pray daily for his congregation is not a pastor.

Destruction of the embryo in the mother's womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed upon this nascent life.

A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.

The entire day receives order and discipline when it acquires unity. This unity must be sought and found in morning prayer. The morning prayer determines the day.

I believe that nothing that happens to me is meaningless and that it is good for us all that it should be so, even if it runs counter to our own wishes. As I see it, I'm here for some purpose, and I only hope I may fulfill it.
