We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.

How much did I hear of religion as a child? Very little, and yet my heart leaped when I heard the name of God. I do believe every soul has a tendency toward God.

You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.

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.

We are all called to be saints, St. Paul says, and we might as well get over our bourgeois fear of the name. We might also get used to recognizing the fact that there is some of the saint in all of us.

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