Good Friday and Easter free us to think about other things far beyond our own personal fate, about the ultimate meaning of all life, suffering, and events; and we lay hold of a great hope.

Music... will help dissolve your perplexities and purify your character and sensibilities, and in time of care and sorrow, will keep a fountain of joy alive in you.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.

It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith.

In a word, live together in the forgiveness of your sins, for without it no human fellowship, least of all a marriage, can survive. Don't insist on your rights, don't blame each other, don't judge or condemn each other, don't find fault with each other, but accept each other as you are, and forgive each other every day from the bottom of your hearts.

Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.

Only the suffering God can help.
