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.

In the face of the oppressed I recognize my own face, and in the hands of the oppressor I recognize my own hands. Their flesh is my flesh, their blood is my blood, their pain is my pain, their smile is my smile.

The spiritual life is a reaching out to our innermost self, to our fellow human and to our God.

That's the temptation of the devil: "Turn stones into bread! Be relevant!"

Any dance of celebration must weave both the sorrows and the blessings into a joyful step....To heal is to let the Holy Spirit call me to dance, to believe again, even amid my pain, that God will orchestrate and guide my life.

One of the tragedies of our life is that we keep forgetting who we are

It's not easy to sit and trust that in solitude God will speak to you - not as a magical voice but that God will let you know something gradually over the years. And in that word from God you will find the inner place from which to live your life. Solitude is where spiritual ministry begins. That's where Jesus listened to God. That's where we listen to God.
