The Church will always be renewed when our attention shifts from ourselves to those who need our care. The blessing of Jesus always comes to us through the poor. The most remarkable experience of those who work with the poor is that, in the end, the poor give more than they receive. They give food to us.

The church is not an institution forcing us to follow rules but a community inviting us to still our hunger and thirst at its table.

Although I am a committed Catholic priest, and nowhere hide that fact, my focus is very much a spiritual journey.

Mysticism is for all, not just for a few special people.

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

A prayerful life is not a life in which we say many prayers, but a life in which nothing, absolutely nothing, is done, said, or understood independently of him who is the origin and purpose of our existence.

When we approach fundraising in a spirit of gratitude, our confidence in our mission does not depend on how the person we are with responds to our request! We are free to remain secure in God's love with our hearts set joyfully on the kingdom.
