To the degree that we embrace the truth that our identity is not rooted in our success, power, or popularity, but in God's infinite love, to that degree can we let go of our need to judge.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

The great challenge is to discover that we are truly invited to participate in the divine life of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Our life is...a time in which sadness and joy kiss each other at every moment.

Becoming the beloved is pulling the truth revealed to me from above down into the ordinariness of what I am, in fact, thinking of, talking about and doing from hour to hour.

As long as we have our stories there is hope.

The real question is: how can I live so that my death will be fruitful for others?
