The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us. When we begin to take the lowest places, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion which led to the cross, then we can truly say, 'Now I have begun'.

When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.

Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.

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