Those who are marginal in the world are central in the Church, and that is how it is supposed to be! Thus we are called as members of the Church to keep going to the margins of our society. The homeless, the starving, parentless children, people with AIDS, our emotionally disturbed brothers and sisters - they require our first attention.

I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

Active waiting means present fully to the moment, in the conviction that something is happening where you are and that you want to be present to it.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

As a general remark, I would say we must move from the moral to the mystical life.

By giving words to these intimate experiences I can make my life available to others.

You don't have to run around world proving you're lovable.
