Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

A person who lacks the verdancy of justice is dry, totally without tender goodness, totally without illuminating virtue.

O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.

I welcome all creatures of the world with grace.

Our souls should be like a transparent crystal through which God can be perceived.

The word stands for the body, but the symphony stands for the spirit.

We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.
