Faith in God is less apt to proceed from miracles than miracles from faith in God.

To remember the past is to see that we are here today by grace, that we have survived as a gift.

If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in.

A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.

Listen to your life. All moments are key moments.

You can never be sure whether you are discovering the truth or inventing it.

It is the first day because it has never been before and the last day because it will never be again. Be alive, if you can, all through this day - today - of your life. What's to be done? What's to be done? Follow your feet. Put on the coffee. Start the orange juice, the bacon, the toast. Then go wake up your children and your spouse. Think about the work of your hands. Live in the needs of the day.
