To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

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

We must ask ourselves how many times others would benefit more from our silence than from our words.

Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.

Every time you reject yourself, you idealize others

Prayer is the way to both the heart of God and the heart of the world - precisely because they have been joined through the suffering of Jesus Christ Praying is letting one's own heart become the place where the tears of God's children merge and become tears of hope.

Prayer is the breath of your life which gives you the freedom to go and stay where you wish and to find the many signs which point out the way to a new land.
