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

Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.

It's good to have a prayer on your lips wherever you go.

Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

As peacemakers, we must resist all the powers of war and destruction and proclaim that peace is the divine gift offered to all who affirm life. Resistance means saying 'No' to all the forces of death, wherever they may be.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.
