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.

If Christ has been given us, if we are called to his discipleship we are given all things, literally _all_ things. He will see to it that they are added unto us. If we follow Jesus and look only to His righteousness, we are in his hands and under the protection of Him and His Father. And if we are in communion with the Father, nought can harm us. God will help us in the hour of need, and He knows our needs.

The fact that we do not speak it but sing it only expresses the fact that our spoken words are inadequate to express what we want to say, that the burden of our song goes far beyond all human words.

We are so afraid of silence that we chase ourselves from one event to the next in order not to have to spend a moment alone with ourselves, in order not to have to look at ourselves in the mirror.

Only what is essential must be said.

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.

The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community.
