I still believe that the university is a place where people can develop their minds and learn skills, but also they can develop their personalities and their spiritual life.

Beneath our frantic activities, there's a deep desire to show the world we are worthwhile.

Community is the fruit of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own.

God is a God of the present. God is always in the moment, be that moment hard or easy, joyful and painful.

Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.

The more you are called to speak for God's love, the more you will need to deepen the knowledge of that love in your own heart. The farther the outward journey takes you, the deeper the inward journey must be. Only when your roots are deep can your fruits be abundant.

To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.
