Fundraising is proclaiming what we believe in such a way that we offer other people an opportunity to participate with us in our vision and mission.

What I want is an art of equilibrium, of purity and tranquility, free from unsettling or disturbing subjects, so that all those who work with their brains, and this includes business men as well as artists and writers, will look on it as something soothing, a kind of cerebral sedative as relaxing in its way as a comfortable armchair.

Fundraising is also always a call conversion. And this comes to both those who seek funds and those who have funds. Whether we are asking for money or giving money we are drawn together by God, who is about to do a new thing through our collaboration.

There are two extremes to avoid: being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay far away from the wound you want to heal.

We are inviting you to invest yourself through the resources that God has given you - your energy, your prayers and your money - in this work to which God has called us.

There are those without decency who must be fought without hesitation, without pity.

Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death is not considerate or fair. And make no mistake: here, you face death.
