My strength returns to me with my cup of coffee and the reading of the psalms.

As we come to know the seriousness of the situation, the war, the racism, the poverty in our world, we come to realize that things will not be changed simply by words or demonstrations. Rather, it's a question of living one's life in a drastically different way.

There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.

If I have achieved anything in my life, it is because I have not been embarrassed to talk about God.

Dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

So many sins against the poor cry out to high heaven! One of the most deadly sins is to deprive the laborer of his hire. There is another: to instill in him paltry desires so compulsive that he is willing to sell his liberty and his honor to satisfy them. We are all guilty of concupiscence, but newspapers, radios, television, and battalions of advertising men (woe to that generation!) deliberately stimulate our desires, the satisfaction of which so often means the degradation of the family.
