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

We need to change the system. We need to overthrow, not the government, as the authorities are always accusing the Communists 'of conspiring to teach [us] to do,' but this rotten, decadent, putrid industrial capitalist system which breeds such suffering in the whited sepulcher of New York.

Everything a baptized person does each day should be directly or indirectly related to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do.

Some can go further than others.

No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.

The holy man was the whole man, the man of integrity, who not only tried to change the world, but to live in it as it was.
