The only way to live in any true security is to live so close to the bottom that when you fall you do not have far to drop, you do not have much to lose.

When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them.

We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy.

To love with understanding and without understanding. To love blindly, and to folly. To see only what is loveable. To think only of these things. To see the best in everyone around, their virtues rather than their faults. To see Christ in them!

Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.

What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?

The idea that when the health of one member suffers, the health of the whole body is lowered is a teaching of St Paul which is timeless.
