Compassion can never coexist with judgement because judgement creates the distance, the distinction, which prevents us from really being with the other.

From the moment we claim the truth of being the beloved, we are faced with the call to become who we are.

Jesus invites us to abide in his love. That means to dwell with all that I am in him. It is an invitation to a total belonging, to full intimacy, to an unlimited being-with. The light of the Spirit reveals to us that love conquers all fear.

Peace is first of all the art of being.

The most important thing I've come to believe in is that people with mental handicaps have a unique mission to bring God's blessing to the World.

Joy and laughter are the gifts of living in the presence of God and trusting that tomorrow is not worth worrying about.

Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing-sicknes s, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death--can take that love away.
