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.

We must always aim for the impossible; if we lower our goal, we also diminish our effort.

Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.

We want no revolution; we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.

People, wherever they are, can make a community.

To feed the hungry, clothe the naked and shelter the harborless without also trying to change the social order so that people can feed, clothe and shelter themselves is just to apply palliatives. It is to show a lack of faith in one’s fellows, their responsibilitie s as children of God, heirs of heaven.

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.
