Stop trying to protect, to rescue, to judge, to manage the lives around you... Remember that the lives of others are not your business. They are their business. They are God's busineess... Even your own life is not your business. It also is God's Business. Leave it to God.

True faith, a simple life, a helping hand- the three things prized most in Heaven.

We must be careful with our lives, for Christ's sake, because it would seem that they are the only lives we are going to have in this puzzling and perilous world, and so they are very precious and what we do with them matters enormously.

The world needs people who save lives.

Laugh till you weep. Weep till there's nothing left but to laugh at your weeping. In the end it's all one.

The magic of words is that they have power to do more than convey meaning; not only do they have the power to make things clear, they make things happen.

Your vocation lies in the intersection of the world's deep need and your deep joy.
