Peacemaking is a full-time vocation that includes each member of God's people.

Life is not entertainment. Life is not distraction.

The crisis of our prayer life is that our minds may be filled with ideas of God while our hearts remain far from him.

No one person can fulfill all your needs. But the community can truly hold you. The community can let you experience the fact that, beyond your anguish, there are human hands that hold you and show you God's faithful love.

Jesus said Communion first, community comes out of that, and out of community, ministry.

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.

When we learn to move through suffering, rather than avoid it, then we greet it differently. We become willing to let it teach us. We even begin to see how God can use it for some larger end.
