The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it

When we approach fundraising in a spirit of gratitude, our confidence in our mission does not depend on how the person we are with responds to our request! We are free to remain secure in God's love with our hearts set joyfully on the kingdom.

Simply being with someone is difficult because it asks of us that we share in the other's vulnerability, enter with him or her into the experience of weakness and powerlessness, become part of the uncertainty, and give up control and self-determination.

The church is not an institution forcing us to follow rules but a community inviting us to still our hunger and thirst at its table.

The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark.

If you meet God in solitude, you discover the God you meet is the God who embraces all people.

In the face of the oppressed I recognize my own face, and in the hands of the oppressor I recognize my own hands. Their flesh is my flesh, their blood is my blood, their pain is my pain, their smile is my smile.
